Define and Measure Product Circularity

Circular products are one of the three circular economy principles that will help businesses transition to a more environmentally prosperous future.

Product circularity can happen in a number of ways, depending on the source of the materials and how those impact the end of life —otherwise known as the inputs and outputs of a system.

But what business practices contribute to environmental stewardship in the context of a circular economy through product circularity? What new types of business metrics do we need to measure that contribution, and how do we objectively assess the effectiveness of our efforts? And how do we communicate the environmental impact of those practices and activities in an honest and objective way?
