Mission-oriented innovation methodology
The Sustainable PLFs Task Force took a mission-oriented innovation approach 7 to developing the roadmap set out in this report. This methodology has been developed to co-design collaborative, dynamic innovation programmes orientated toward global challenges at a scale beyond what single industry players can address alone. A mission-led approach recognises that innovation takes place in a complex ecosystem, and it is difficult to set out detailed technical pathways to specific goals in advance. For example, work still needs to be done to understand and monitor the lifecycle impact of current PLFs and generate solutions and we cannot at this stage anticipate or pick innovation ‘winners’. The aim of defining tangible missions is to mobilise innovation efforts and collaboration by providing direction and identifying tangible goals for collaboration. We set an impact horizon of 2040, recognising that it takes considerable time to shift entire value chains and achieve industrial transitions. We sought to define realistic innovation pathways that could nurture new industrial landscapes for sustainable PLFs. Our roadmap aims to give some clarity to what this transition may look like for industry and catalyse a large-scale programme of action. It sets out:
n One ambition
n Two critical missions for a rapid transition to sustainable PLFs
n Five problems that the transition must solve
n Nine priorities to deliver the missions
n Four key pillars of a flourishing sustainable PLFs ecosystem
