Increased circularity offers tangible environmental and business benefits, such as reduced resource extraction, lower emissions, decreased waste, and enhanced resource efficiency and recycling rates. As corporate focus on circularity intensifies, company leaders can drive the incorporation of specific circular economy targets into their organization’s strategic plans. These goals can include reducing waste, increasing recycled content, and implementing take-back programs. They should also set measurable key performance indicators, such as the percentage of materials recycled, the number of products refurbished, and the reduction in virgin material usage.
