The FRONTSH1P Digital Platform is an advanced web-based application developed to support the implementation of circular economy strategies at the regional level. Designed for use by public authorities, industrial stakeholders, and local actors, the platform allows users to model, simulate, and optimize Circular Systemic Solutions (CSS) involving waste recovery, material reuse, and resource exchange.

Through an intuitive interface, users can interact with a georeferenced map, modify key parameters such as waste quantities and process capacities, and activate or deactivate specific CSS scenarios. The platform includes a simulation engine that evaluates different configurations and calculates key performance indicators (KPIs) related to environmental, economic, and social impacts.

Users can also apply policy settings, such as environmental taxes or incentives, to simulate the effect of policy actions on costs and overall system performance. The platform’s optimization model, based on linear programming, helps identify the most efficient and cost-effective solutions by balancing inputs, outputs, waste streams, and transportation impacts.

The results page provides clear visualizations and downloadable reports, making it easier for stakeholders to interpret outcomes and make informed decisions. In addition, the platform includes access to a dedicated document on social impact, which compiles guidelines, best practices, and practical suggestions for enhancing citizen engagement and maximizing social value in circular economy initiatives without compromising economic or environmental benefits.

In summary, the FRONTSH1P Digital Platform offers a comprehensive, user-friendly, and flexible tool to drive circular transition, support strategic planning, and foster collaboration among stakeholders across Europe.
