The worldwide revenue of circular economy transactions, comprised of the categories secondhand, rental, and refurbished goods, was estimated to total roughly *** billion U.S. dollars in 2022. This was forecast to more than double by 2026.

In a circular economy, on the other hand, goods are designed to be reused, repaired, shared, recycled, and remade. Waste is designed out of the system. A circular economy aims to maximize the use of resources and goods, so that all people benefit.

This statistic displays the familiarity with the concept of circular economy in the Netherlands in 2018. When asked whether they know about the concept of the circular economy, the majority of respondents taking part in this survey stated that they had never heard of it.

In 2023, the Circular Economy Market reached a value of USD 556.0 billion, and it is projected to surge to USD 1323.5 billion by 2030.

The indicator measures “Number of persons employed” in the following three sectors: the recycling sector, repair and reuse sector and rental and leasing sector.

Jobs are expressed in number of persons employed and as a percentage of total employment.

Number of persons employed is defined as the total number of persons who work in the observation unit, i.e. the firm (inclusive of working proprietors, partners working regularly in the unit and unpaid family workers), as well as persons who work outside the unit who belong to it and are paid by it - e.g. sales representatives, delivery personnel, repair and maintenance teams. It excludes manpower supplied to the unit by other enterprises, persons carrying out repair and maintenance work in the enquiry unit on behalf of other enterprises, as well as those on compulsory military service.

The indicator measures the share of material recycled and fed back into the economy - thus saving extraction of primary raw materials - in overall material use. The circular material use, also known as circularity rate is defined as the ratio of the circular use of materials to the overall material use. The overall material use is measured by summing up the aggregate domestic material consumption (DMC) and the circular use of materials. DMC is defined in economy-wide material flow accounts. The circular use of materials is approximated by the amount of waste recycled in domestic recovery plants minus imported waste destined for recovery plus exported waste destined for recovery abroad. Waste recycled in domestic recovery plants comprises the recovery operations R2 to R11 - as defined in the Waste Framework Directive 75/442/EEC. The imports and exports of waste destined for recycling - i.e. the amount of imported and exported waste bound for recovery – are approximated from the European statistics on international trade in goods. A higher circularity rate value indicates means that more secondary materials substitute for primary raw materials thus reducing the environmental impacts of extracting primary material.

The revenue of the circular economy, made up of the secondhand, rental, and refurbished markets, was forecast to greatly increase from the years 2022 to 2026 across all categories. Consumer electronics is forecast to be the largest consumer goods category in this market. When combined, apparel, footwear, and accessories also make up a significant segment of the circular economy.

This database is a comprehensive collection of leading sustainability-related indicators for manufacturing companies. The indicators are collected through a systematic literature review with following information registered: name, detailed description, formula, unit of measurement, and purpose of measurement. The leading indicators in the database are classified according to environmental, economic and social dimensions of sustainability, for a range of business processes and various circular economy strategies. This classification allows the configuration of different combinations of circular solutions to be exploited in various business processes, thus displaying a suitable set of sustainability performance indicators to be measured early in the decision-making stage. The database of performance indicators is a first building block of a foundation for the development of a sustainability screening framework, which will also comprise a procedure for a systematic indicator selection and guidelines for decision-making for sustainability in a circular economy context.

Abstract The linear model of production and consumption harms the environment and accelerates the scarcity of natural resources. In contrast, the Circular Economy (EC) emerges as a model that aims to keep products, components, and materials at their highest level of usefulness and value at all times. This research seeks to answer the following problem question: how does international literature approach the relationship between Renewable Energies and Circular Economy in an industrial context? The general objective is: to identify, in the international literature, how the terms Renewable Energy and Circular Economy are related in the industrial context. The applied methodology consisted of a systematic review of the literature associated with bibliometrics in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, applying the terms: “renewabl * energ *” AND “circular economy” AND “industr *”. Bibliometric indicators were analyzed with the aid of the MINITAB and VOSviewer softwares. From the final sample of 88 articles, the countries that stood out the most in the number of publications were Italy, followed by China, Germany, and the United Kingdom. It was noted that the years with the largest number of publications were 2018, 2019, and 2020, with the first publication appearing in 2012. Among the main results, it was found that the researches, in its majority, are case studies that diagnose a reality and propose efficient solutions with the production processes and the reduction of environmental impacts. Finally, it was concluded that the Circular Economy is a progressive model of production and consumption, which respects the limitation of natural resources while meeting human needs.

The TREASURE project looks at industrial innovation to address the problem of making onboard electronics in the automotive industry easier to recycle, increasing the industry's contribution to the circular economy. As part of it, a team of ethnographers generated and coded the corpus contained in this dataset. interviews conducted between January 2022 and June 2023 with car owners and enthusiasts at car industry events. The interviews focus on experiences with car electronics and perspectives on sustainability and the circular economy. The dataset is pseudonymized.
