New indicators measuring transition to circularity : policy brief

This document is an extract of the full final report of a 2-year project to identify and investigate opportunities for innovation in the monitoring of circularity across the EU. The project provides a comprehensive baseline of current policy and funding frameworks, and monitoring efforts across 11 priority policy themes. A multi-faceted taxonomy of over 700 indicators was developed by the Consortium into a multi criteria assessment tool, for bespoke use by any policy maker or interested party, allowing them to shortlist indicators based on a range of priority options. 60 indicators were tested as part of the project, leading to conclusions and recommendations for each of the individual policy areas.
