TPS C3 – Circular Economy Indicators and Databases
Objective
- Define a taxonomy of impact assessment indicators associated with the implementation of circularity measures.
- Develop a data structure adapted to the different contexts and scales at which circularity measurements are implemented
- Develop case studies to test and disseminate learning
Examples of Research Questions and Issues
- How can we categorize indicators to monitor and measure circularity and its effects/impacts?
- What are the data definition attributes and parameters?
- How can we standardize data to ensure comparability and compatibility between resources?
- How can we develop a searchable data-sharing platform that ensures the availability of information?
- How can we ensure the long-term future of the platform (data maintenance and updating)?
Steering Committee
TPS C3, which deals with indicators and databases in the circular economy, is led by a team of eight researchers. The steering committee is responsible for proposing TPS orientations, and represents a diversity of circular economy research on the organizational theme.
