 Example for a Circularity Indicator

Material Circularity Indicator (by EMF)

„The main indicator developed in this methodology. It assigns a score

between 0 and 1 to a product (or company) assessing how linear or
restorative the flow of the materials for the product (or the company’s
products) and how long and intensely the product (or the company’s
products) is used compared to similar industryaverage products.”
