Résumé : | While many Circular Economy (CE) indicators communicate that they measure sustainability, they do not consider the sustainability tripod. Thus, any decision to adopt a CE strategy must be carefully reasoned about its potential sustainability performance, in addition to requiring CE indicators based on the chosen strategies to support professionals and decision-makers. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze circularity indicators that can assess the three pillars of sustainability at the nano and micro levels to indicate gaps. We propose a three-step method for eight circular indicators aligned with sustainability: characterization by Sources, Type, Cycles, CE Strategy, Business Strategy, Methodology, and Multiple lifecycles; analysis based on three CE principles and by the direct contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The main results establish a scarcity connection of indicators with preserving and enhancing natural capital and SDGs 6 and 15; none address the CE strategies Refuse and Rethink, and one focuses on Repurpose. |
