Circular Economy Sustainability Screening: CIRCit Workbook 1

Circular Economy is often seen as one of many means to achieving sustainability and the intentions of the practitioner are likely to be inherently sustainable. But is circularity intrinsically sustainable, all on its own? With this workbook, we provide support for the assessment of whether or not your ambitions, strategies and plans for Circular Economy are actually sustainable, seen from an environmental, social and economic perspective.

We provide an approach to help you to choose the criteria and related indicators, to enable a sustainability screening of a circular business proposal, product design, maintenance strategy or take-back plan. And we provide a way of supporting the decision-making process for the practitioner to work through, to ensure that we make circular and sustainable decisions.
