Circular solutions for a future-proof economy

This year’s edition of the Circularity Gap Report introduces a new lens: the Value Gap. While the Circularity Metric quantifies the share of secondary materials entering the economy (measured in tonnes), the Value Gap measures the monetary value lost to the linear economy (measured in euros). This perspective highlights the missed opportunity of the circular economy, presenting it not only as a key environmental solution but also as a smart economic approach that supports long-term prosperity and well-being.
