Longevity and Circularity as Indicators of Eco-Efficient Resource Use in the Circular Economy

摘要: Abstract Natural resources are limited. The circular economy is one of several different concepts that has been useful in the quest to understand how can be used most efficiently. It proposes closing loops and repeatedly using potential procure maximum eco-efficiency. To track society's progress towards a economy, indicators measures needed. majority these aim capture circularity resource flows, yet fail simultaneously consider length time for which use. More recently, longevity indicator proposed, but similarly, it fails take into account many times used. Both needed sustainable use, date, no measure combines both approaches Based on existing we develop further focus contribution organisations other users make sustainability By combining enhance their explanatory power.
