Sweden's emissions reduction goals are the most ambitious worldwide: net-zero by 2045. But the energy transition is only part of the story. Our Circularity Gap Report Sweden finds that Sweden, being only 3,4% circular, must—and can—do more to become a true climate champion. The key lies in building its circular economy to shrink its large material footprint.

“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.”
