Circularity index

A circularity index is a score that represents the degree of circularity potential of a product throughout its lifecycle, as measured by one or more circularity indicators. At Normec OWS, we can create a circularity index for you based on your data. This is useful for manufacturers, for example, as it provides quantitative information to support circularity claims. It can also be used to measure and improve the circularity of material flows.

Sustainability reporting

A circularity index provides a circularity score, for example, between 0 (fully linear) and 1 (fully circular). While no ISO standards exist for circularity indices, they can be used to supplement Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and Life Cycle Sustainability Assessments (LCSAs) for sustainability reporting.

The importance of the circularity index is underlined by the fact that the transition to a circular economy is considered a key aspect in the development of a sustainable future.

Normec OWS is currently involved as an EU-H2020-TERMINUS project partner. This European project addresses the challenge of unlocking the recycling and reuse of flexible multi-layer and multi-compound packaging.

In part, the project partners aim to modify existing circularity indicators so that these can be used in different industries.
