- Circularity indicators
- Measurement
- Organizations
Description
This two-stage project aims to design and test a conceptual framework for assessing circularity within organizations. Having developed this framework, now enriched by the indicators proposed in the ISO 59020 standard published in 2024, the team embarked on a phase of experimentation through case studies in organizational environments. An initial collaboration has been initiated with COOP Carbone and one of the SMEs in its network, serving as a testing ground to validate the relevance and applicability of the framework. Other partnerships could be established to broaden the scope of application. The aim is to verify the robustness of the framework in concrete contexts, and to contribute to equipping organizations with circularity tools.
