En undersökning om möjligheten att implementera Take-Back Systems hos Gardena (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

Implementing Take-Back Systems comes with many challenges and opportunities for companies. This study investigates the possibility of implementing a Take-Back System at Gardena to fulfill their circularity goals. For this purpose, a literature review was conducted to gain insight into the topic and its relevance for the research. Furthermore, a qualitative study was conducted to gain insight into Gardena and its relevant stakeholders and how a potential Take-Back System would affect its organization. The literature and qualitative study laid the ground for the development of a concept consisting of a Pilot Project taking place in Germany. The contribution of this thesis is to investigate uncertainties when implementing a Take-Back System within the Gardena organization during the Pilot Project.

Abstract [sv]

Att implementera Take-Back System medför många utmaningar och möjligheter för företag. Denna studie undersöker möjligheten att implementera ett Take-Back System på Gardena för att uppnå deras cirkularitetsmål. För detta ändamål genomfördes en litteraturstudie för att få insikt i ämnet och dess relevans för arbetet. Vidare genomfördes en kvalitativ studie för att få insikt i Gardena och dess relevanta parter och hur ett potentiellt Take-Back System skulle påverka dess organisation. Litteraturstudien och den kvalitativa studien lade grunden för utvecklingen av ett koncept bestående av ett Pilotprojekt som äger rum i Tyskland. Bidraget från denna avhandling är att undersöka osäkerheter vid implementering av ett återtagningssystem inom Gardenaorganisationen under Pilotprojektet.
