Workshop: Zero-Waste Roadmap Game
Chair / Presidente: J. Singh (SE)
This workshop will introduce the Zero-Waste Roadmap Game. The game is developed to operationalize the concept of circular economy, design, and participatory backcasting when addressing the systemic, institutional, and behavioral barriers to sustainable waste management. This game is aimed at engaging stakeholders throughout the organic waste value chain. In this game, the stakeholders collaboratively develop solutions to challenges in organic waste management through a participatory process of mutual engagement, consultation and consensus. This is done to recognize the needs of the stakeholders across the value chain to optimally address them. The game incorporates the elements of gamification, such as information, reflection, exposition, choice, play, and engagement.The game will inspire the participants who work with stakeholders to address waste management issues. Itcan help them reflect on their methods and approaches in their respective research fields.This game is being developed within an Indo-Swedish consortium research project BioCircularR - Towards Zero-Waste through Bio-based Circular Recovery Model – Lessons for Managing Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste from Sweden and India (BioCircularR). The project is financed by FORMAS Sweden and Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. The project is led by four universities – KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, and Lund University, Lund in Sweden, and Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and Indian Institute of Technology Patna in India.
