The Circularity Calculator, a Tool For Circular Product Development with Circularity and Potential Value Capture Indicators

Abstract: Most products require a redesign to be viable in a circular economy. For instance, by implementing design for disassembly, remanufacturing, recyclability, and using long-lived components. Typically, different solutions can be chosen to improve a products' circularity, and different strategies can be aimed at keeping the product, its components, and materials in the loop. When developing products for a circular economy, designers and manufacturers want to assess their solutions and choose between alternatives e… Show more

“…The calculator uses the bill of materials of a product to compare the impacts of different circularity scenarios (e.g., reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, and recycling) and consequently choose the best design options and business models relying on experimental trade-offs between circularity and value capture. The calculator provides four quantitative key performance indicators (KPIs): circularity indicator, value capture indicator, recycled content indicator, and reuse index, which help companies to determine the economic viability of potential design ideas for products [51]. 2.…”

“…Each of these metrics is meant to be measured for a fixed period. Previous MFA-based studies have used either mass (Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Granta Design, 2015; Bracquené et al, 2020;de Pauw et al, 2021) or economic value (Linder et al, 2017;de Pauw et al, 2021) for the unit of measure for circularity metrics. There are advantages and limitations to both strategies.…”

“…It is forwardlooking and assesses the degree to which components within a product can be put to use in future products as components, materials, or nutrients through remanufacturing, repurposing, recycling, composting, and other EOL strategies. Based on many similar circularity metrics proposed by Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Granta Design (2015), Bracquené et al (2020), de Pauw et al (2021 and others, the C PP is defined as the ratio of the mass (or economic value) of materials or components within a product that are potentially reusable and the total product mass (or economic value) given by,…”
