THE ANALYSIS OF EXISTING INDICATORS, METHODS AND TOOLS FOR MEASURING CIRCULARITY IN THE CONTEXT OF THEIR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
Circularity metrics are useful for empirically assessing the effects of introduction of circular economy principles at product and company level. Due to the fact, that the concept of circular economy is new, one standardized method for measuring the circularity of products and company has still not been developed. For that reason, in this article the multidisciplinary literature review was carried out for indicating existing methods, tools and indicators dedicated to measure the circularity. This analysis has provided information allowing to indicate a trend for future development of circularity metrics.
