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
Recycling applies to two main areas:
- Part of any material that is made from recycled materials (opposite to virgin materials)
- Part of any material that can be recycled (or re-used), the recyclability of a material
Recycled materials used
Recycled materials is the part of any material that is made from recycled materials.
The DataPoints are
- RecycledMaterialsUsedWeight (UnitDomain: Weight)
- RecycledMaterialsUsedPercentage (Unit: %)
Recycling
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.
