In this video, Professor Hans Wamelink discusses the importance of developing evaluation frameworks for circularity, identifying the right indicators, and what should be the right values for these indicators.

• Objective measurement equips designers with the ability to evaluate the impacts of diverse circular strategies; it offers a means to monitor market trends over time; and it helps assess the progress towards policy objectives.
• For measuring circularity, several indicators are needed across the three domains of: [a] material resources; [b] the environment; and [c] existing value.
• The analysis of numerous projects for ‘The New Normal’ project helped benchmark achievable values for these indicators based on the type of object to be built.
