Metabolic analysis of flows and stocks

This is our most elaborate and detailed analysis of circular economy opportunities. It relies on national statistics and research to distinguish sometimes over 350 individual material flows and to point at trends in natural assets and produced stock dynamics. Stakeholders then support with interpreting the data visuals and identifying the most promising circular economy interventions. The selected interventions are assessed on their business merit, policy context and estimates of their environmental and socio-economic impacts. This analysis includes quantifying the overall circularity gap and visualizing flows to support evidence-based decision-making.
