In this document the concept for the circular economy monitor to be developed in the Policy Research Centre Circular Economy is explained in detail. This concept is the result of combining academic expertise, literature insights, feedback from policy officers and developments at the international scene.
The circular economy monitor is essentially composed of three levels:
- A macro level composed of indicators focusing on society-wide material flows and associated environmental, economic and social impacts connected to the Flemish region, including the effects outside the Flemish borders.
- A meso level composed of indicators focusing on the achievement of circular economy in particular systems to fulfill needs.
- A micro level featuring a set of specific products and services, meant to establish a representative and broad sample of our daily consumption and that is also relevant considering the circular economy transition.
