“…Migrating towards a circular economy is a complex task since different stakeholders with particular functions participate in aviation, including aircraft designers and assemblers, who must emphasize using parts and Circular Economy: A Technological Innovation Strategy for Sustainability in Air Transport components that can be reused, which would imply a significant change in its supply chain. (Hartley, Baldassarre & Kirchherr, 2023) The primary users of aircraft are the airlines, which must implement improvements in energy consumption and waste management. As for airports, an important part is energy use and waste management, the administration of arrivals and departures, and the appropriate infrastructure that allows water to be reused, or better yet, ventilation systems without contaminating.…”

This work aims to identify innovations, technological advances, and best practices to migrate towards a circular economy in air transport. The relevance of the research lies in the contribution to the generation of circular economy knowledge in the field of administration with application in the aeronautical industry. By analyzing literature and best practices, the circular economy could be a viable solution to reduce the use of natural resources in aircraft manufacturing and airport operations. Among the main findings are innovations and technological developments in new materials, fuels, building methods, and best practices implemented at airports to obtain energy and generate less waste. It has also been identified that applying circular economy principles in this mode of transport would contribute to sustainability efforts and increase the competitiveness of organizations in the sector.

“…The R framework's characteristic is the hierarchy between the involved R strategies (following the sequence R0 to R9, the priority of observed strategies is less desirable). But even today, if the circular economy studies go beyond recycling, which is still closely related to the linear economy [18], more desirable options in the waste management hierarchy are rarely part of those studies [20].…”

Contemporary societies, whether they have reached advanced levels of economic and social development or are still developing, need to prioritise the implementation of circular economy practices. This will facilitate the shift towards regenerative, sustainable, and closed-loop industrial systems. For now, there are some efforts to encourage patterns of production and consumption through changes in economic trends, development of institutional frameworks, harmonising regulations in the field of environmental protection, and raising the level of social awareness to achieve, above all, greater efficiency of resources. Extensive literature that deals with monitoring the implementation of the circular economy already indicates the existence of numerous barriers in this process but also notices some incentives for raising the degree of circularity of the observed systems. In this paper, the question of whether a single value can represent the level of circularity of the chosen material/product chain is researched. An overview of barriers and drivers for implementing circular economy strategies is given to structure a proper metric framework in correlation to the research question. The objective was to simplify the monitoring of circularity by developing a unique index for comparing material/product chains in similar systems. This was accomplished by using the circular material use (CMU) rate introduced in the European Union and modifying it for financial data calculation. As a result, the circular economy index, which covers all 9R strategies (CEIR), is obtained. The practical verification of model applicability was shown by determining the degree of circularity achieved for passenger cars in the four observed EU countries.
