1. Introduction
1.1 GREENCYCLE Context
One of the most important objective of the GREENCYCLE project is establishing a Transnational
circular economy network starting from the appointment of 5 city’s Circular Economy Managers in 5
ALPINE SPACE cities, that are: Freiburg, Maribor, Vorau, Vienne-Condrieu Agglomeration and Trento,
plus optionally Lichtenstein, focusing strongly on the side of the Public Administration, trying to
unlock the CE innovation potential of the Public Administration. The appointed public administration
personnel is most of the cases pooled from existing municipal experts staff, from staff working in
related fields (like environment, waste, energy, transport and others). This personnel is appointed
and assigned with an additional assignments in order to establish a transnational circular economy
network between the cities involved in the project, with the potential and the aim to enlarge the
network to other ALPINE SPACE cities. The principle beneath the transnational network, is that
resource productivity and waste recovery indicators show that cities and regions involved in the
GREENCYCLE project are above the European average on sustainability and economical circularities,
often beyond the targets and actions plans set by most of national waste management and circular
economy plans. This is mainly because in these cities, in the past, there has been some remarkable
improvements and tangible initiatives that had and still have great impacts.
Beside this, the introduction of digital technologies is facilitating the transformation of numerous
social structures, processes, and institutions even if digital transformation requires runs over longer
periods of time. Digital platforms are a virtual interface between companies and customers, but also
partners, stakeholders and there are aiming to gather benefits from the interactions of the users,
leveraging on the network effects principle. The more people active on the platform, the greater the
benefit for all participants.
A unique feature of digital platforms is the direct exchange of data across the platform itself. Among
the digital platforms in the B2C include marketplaces, search engines, and social networks, and the
B2B digital platforms, driven by the Internet of Things. At the same time, information is the
foundation and driver of digital platforms to provide additional services to their customers.
ASP 452 GREENCYCLE D.T4.2.1 Definition of the functionalities of the platform
1.2 Objective of the deliverable
This document aims to help define a common vision about the specific digital platform build by the
GREENCYCLE project, the Circular Economy Marketplace, and the requirements and functionalities
that is going to provide.
A marketplace is a site or an online platform (internet) that allows you to make purchases of products
or services. It connects Producer and Consumers through the Internet and thereby fosters efficiency
in an otherwise inefficient market. A Marketplace is an ecommerce platform that enables Individuals
as well as Business to either list their items for sale or set up online storefronts on the marketplace
platform and leverage the platform and its services [search, viewing product information, buying,
payment, order management, etc]. It can be considered horizontal when they support the exchange
of various types of products or services, or vertical, when the platform allows the exchange of only
one type of product.
Marketplace also can act as a guarantor in the transaction between sellers and buyers, as long as the
duration of the commercial operation. In particular, it pays attention to the registration of operators
(sellers / buyers) by applying anti-fraud controls and rules.
Types of subjects involved in the exchange are categorized as:
(C2C) Consumer to Consumer: In this case, transactions occur directly between individuals
(B2C) Business to Consumer: The typical model in this case is electronic commerce where
companies directly expose products and services to private individuals
(B2B) Business to Business: In this case, this is a business-to-business deal.
The marketplace offers and must guarantee:
Strong visibility quickly: it must interfere with search engines,
Reduced marketing costs: Marketplace sharing allows you to market your products. Costs are
also often due to a transaction without a registration fee
Simplicity of use
Unpublished products / services
Reaching niche markets
Production of useful statistics through the processing of transaction data, demand and supply
ASP 452 GREENCYCLE D.T4.2.1 Definition of the functionalities of the platform
Many sharing economy platforms are in fact peer to peer marketplaces. Also called "switch"
marketplaces, sharing economy platforms' users will characteristically switch between buying and
selling services or goods, such as on AirBNB or UBER. From a buyer's perspective, he/she gets to
choose from multiple sellers and therefore can pick & choose / bargain hunt as required.
Because of the larger number of sellers in a marketplace, the consumer gets the benefit of greater
choice in inventory and also because of the inherent competition between sellers selling similar
products, the buyer also gets the benefit of lower prices and better customer service. The seller
primarily needs to focus on sourcing, listing his inventory, managing orders and fulfillment and
customer support. The marketplace platform takes care of the Technology infrastructure, payment
processing, managing fraud & risk etc.
During analysis of Marketplace became evident that platform can’t be only a marketplace for
exchanging material but its use, from CE Manager, will be as a tool for analyze and supervise CE
practices in local region and between municipalities and a better name of the digital platform has
been defined in “GREENCYCLE Resource Marketplace Platform” (GRMP).
GREENCYCLE Resource Marketplace Platform will be the main transnational tool for practical
implementation of circular economy. It will establish transnational cooperation in the fields, where it
is needed due to big-scale approach. For example when recycling electronic waste some materials
(tantalum, iridium, cobalt…) can be feasibly recycled only if larger quantities are gathered.
Main goals for GREENCYCLE Resource Marketplace Platform are:
initial assessment,
reduce material use,
recycling of waste into secondary material,
quality/quantity of material reuse,
increased energy efficiency from shorter supply loops (optimised transport routes),
heat recovery from industrial processes.
ASP 452 GREENCYCLE D.T4.2.1 Definition of the functionalities of the platform
2. General Requirements
This chapter contains the general characteristics that the platform must guarantee. The platform is
created to be used by a large and heterogeneous group of users. Potential may be accessible by a
large number of users, free, available at all times (normal features for a website) and will be
recognizable through its own domain.
2.1 A Continuous Development Process
Development of GREENCYCLE Resource Marketplace platform can’t be considered as a single stop.
First release of the platform will certainly start new requests for development to better respond to
requests from users. Furthermore, a fundamental aspect will be the management of contents (both
loading and use) by the CE managers of the municipalities.
Figure 1 the SDLC process- Image from synotive.com
Software life cycle models describe phases of the software cycle and the order in which those phases
are executed. Each phase produces deliverables required by the next phase in the life cycle.
ASP 452 GREENCYCLE D.T4.2.1 Definition of the functionalities of the platform
Requirements are translated into design. Code is produced according to the design which is called
development phase. After coding and development the testing verifies the deliverable of the
implementation phase against requirements.
Another important aspect to consider will be that the platform will have to be maintained for at least
5 years. Development plans to use resources with low maintenance costs, but it will not be possible
to eliminate all costs (for example, the annual cost of the server, any adjustments to new middleware
versions, etc.). To enable the platform adoption of interoperate in a more standard way between
GREENCYCLE partners, project bases on SCHEMA.ORG1 for the identification, modeling and
construction of the information architecture elements that are impacting the UX and the API for
application interoperability of the digital platform.
Figure 2 schema.org is providing basis for information architecture modeling
SCHEMA.ORG was funded by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Yandex, Schema.org vocabularies are
developed by an open community process. It is a collaborative, community activity with a mission to
create, maintain, and promote schemas for structured data on the Internet, on web pages, in email
messages, and beyond. Vocabulary can be used with many different encodings, including RDFa,
Microdata and JSON-LD. These vocabularies cover entities, relationships between entities and
actions, and can easily be extended through a well-documented extension model. Over 10 million
sites use Schema.org to markup their web pages and email messages. Many applications from
Google, Microsoft, Pinterest, Yandex and others already use these vocabularies to power rich,
extensible experiences.

ASP 452 GREENCYCLE D.T4.2.1 Definition of the functionalities of the platform
2.2 Micro services design
GREENCYCLE Resource Marketplace Platform will be design and developed with a micro services
approach and with an API-Driven approach.
.
Figure 3 – A microservice architecture is made by building blocks
In that way data published and stored in database can be easily exported using simple API tools
without writing code. At the same time some data could be loaded using specific API to automate
periodic uploads.
The micro services model is going through some basic step of analysis:
identification of an investigator ( communication, start-up, constant feedback, local news ...)
analysis of current methods of providing the specific service to 10 other stakeholders
periodic comparison with the referents of the experimental bodies in the design and
implementation phase through the definition of evaluation metrics and with a selected group
of citizens
And it is pushing strongly a citizen-centric vision of services
opportunities for citizen involvement (collaboration in the continuous improvement of the
service, reports of malfunctions, content creation, ...)
transparency towards the citizen and fellow citizens
monitoring of the process completion times (true for individuals and for all citizens)
ASP 452 GREENCYCLE D.T4.2.1 Definition of the functionalities of the platform
