Circularity
What is the principle of circularity? Circularity is the economic principle of sharing, repairing, refurbishing, recycling, remanufacturing and reusing as much as possible to minimise waste and the extraction & creation of virgin materials
- Part of any material that can be recycled (or re-used), the recyclability of a material

- Reusable, upcycle, recyclable or compostable?
Recycled vs Virgin materials
Recycled materials informs about the part of any material that is made from recycled materials.
The DataPoints are
- RecycledMaterialsUsedWeight (UnitDomain: Weight)
- RecycledMaterialsUsedPercentage (Unit: %)
Recyclability
Materials are recyclable if it can be collected, sorted, reprocessed, and ultimately reused in manufacturing or making another item.
This is about the part of a material that can be recycled.
DataPoints
- RecyclableMaterialsWeight (UnitDomain: Weight)
- RecyclebaleMaterialsPercentage (Unit: %)
- ReclycableDegratePercentage (Unit: %)
Actual Recycled
While many materials can be (partly) recylced, not everything actually gets recycled.
DataPoints
- RecycledMaterialsActualWeight (UnitDomain: Weight)
Upcycle
Reuse (discarded objects or material) in such a way as to create a product of higher quality or value than the original.
