The paper provides a comprehensive overview of circular economy indices and their classification methods, aiming to support policy development. The study categorizes 61 indicators based on the three spatial dimensions of sustainability and the 3R core principles.
The circular economy indices are increasingly recognized as a useful tool to support the development of policies in providing information, reducing environmental pressures and impacts through a circular recycling process. The aim of the paper is to provide a complete overview of circular economy indices.Starting by 137 articles published from 2000 to 2019, the analysis surveys 61 indicators measuring the circular economy. The indicators were grouped by using a double classification: first according to the three spatial dimensions of sustainability -macro, micro and meso- then on the basis of the 3R Core CE principles. Providing all the information related to the formulation strategy, scaling, normalization, weighting and aggregation methodology allows the readers to get a dedicate toolkit. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
