The Circularity Gap Reporting Initiative

The Circularity Gap Reporting Initiative measures current states of circularity and provides annual findings on the global state of transition based on the latest scientific evidence. They also provide insights into the circularity gap of individual countries, regions, and sectors.

Their flagship report, the Global Circularity Gap Report, provides a yearly update on the state of global circularity. It examines how materials enter the economy and how they either re-enter or exit it. It also provides a snapshot of the current state and future trajectory of circularity; introduces and unpacks the "Value Gap," which offers a framework for understanding inefficiencies in today’s linear, take-make-waste economy; and identifies key levers and next steps for advancing circularity. This resource can help bring you up to speed on resource use and provides an abundance of compelling numerics that highlight the need for - and pace of - systems change.
