Transitioning to a circular way of doing business requires an understanding of the company’s baseline performance today in areas such as material flows, operation activities, as well as factors that enable a transition to a circular economy. This Circular Economy Assessment Tool offers company support on decision making, provides quantitative result, demonstrates strengths and weaknesses, and measures the company’s circular economy performance.

This is a prototype version to try out. There will be a circularity report, and a potential anonymous benchmarking database as more participants join in the future.
