Circular Economy Indicators
A comprehensive circular economy indicator system should allow actors to track the improvements their circular economy implementations create. The development of a novel open-access database of circular economy indicators will contribute to addressing this gap and facilitate practitioners in applying CE indicators to track the progress of their CE strategies.
Sixty-four circularity indicators at the micro level (products, companies), meso level (eco-industrial parks and industrial symbiosis) and macro level (city, region, nation) were identified and categorised from a Systematic Literature Review and used to create an open-access database by using a comprehensive taxonomy. Below we present an interactive sunburst chart allowing stakeholders to explore indicators by system scale, value adding activity, and circular strategies.

Database
This database is open, accessible, and can be updated over time. In the future, we hope to integrate additional infromation to explain how the indicators can be used for optimal results. We welcome contributions from the community.
