“This report presents an updated and extended assessment of approaches and identifies trends, similarities and new directions taken by countries in the connected policy areas of resource efficiency and the circular economy. It is based on information provided in 2018 by 32 participating countries of the EEA/Eionet (European Environment Information and Observation Network) (Annex 2, Map A2.1). This report directly builds on the 2016 EEA report More from less — material resource efficiency in Europe by reflecting the changing policy agenda with respect to the circular economy.

“The Circularity Gap Report Austria is the first in which the global methodology was applied to an individual country and provides the Austrian political and business arena with an evidence base to explore the path towards circularity. The report identifies which interventions may be best placed to improve circularity and provides suggested measures that could boost Austria's circularity rate from the current 9.7% to an estimated 37.4%

“The Netherlands is a global frontrunner in the race to circularity with a Circularity Metric of 24.5%. However, the government has ambitious goals: an economy that is 50% circular by 2030 and 100% circular by 2050. The Circularity Gap Report, the Netherlands, recommends wide-ranging ways in which the economy can pivot away from its linear habits across four key sectors: agriculture, construction, manufacturing and energy. The suggested strategies could triple the Dutch metric from 24.5% to 70%.”

“At 2.4%, Norway's circularity rate is below global average (8.6%). 97.6% of materials consumed each year are never cycled back into the Norwegian economy.

With the climate emergency and the EU's decision to strive for full circularity looming over Norway, the need for a circular transition is urgent. Our report reveals that the country has the potential to increase its circularity up twenty times and become a pioneer in the circular economy. It dives into six scenarios that could contribute to the necessary changes towards a sustainable, circular economy.”

“Denna nationella strategi pekar ut inriktningen för det arbete som behöver göras för att ställa om till cirkulär produktion, konsumtion och affärsmodeller, samt giftfria och cirkulära materialkretslopp. Visionen är ett samhälle där resurser används effektivt i giftfria cirkulära flöden och ersätter jungfruliga material. Handlingsplaner som beskriver styrmedel och åtgärder kommer senare att tas fram.”

I takt med att den cirkulära ekonomin utvecklas ökar behovet av att kunna mäta. På senare tid har flera ramverk för att mäta cirkularitet sett dagens ljus, bland annat Circulytics från Ellen MacArthur Foundation och Circular Transition Indicators från WBCSD. Den här rapporten ger en överblick över de olika alternativen och ger vägledning i att hitta det som passar olika verksamheter bäst, vad man bör tänka på och hur informationen kan användas för att ställa om till en cirkulär affärsmodell.
