Our world economy is only 9.1% circular, leaving a
massive ‘Circularity Gap’. This alarming statistic is
the main output of this first Circularity Gap Report,
in which we launch a metric for the circular state
of the planet. Taking the United Nations’ Emissions
Gap Report1
as inspiration, the Circularity Gap Report
provides a framework and fact-base to measure
and monitor progress in bridging the gap, year on
year. Being able to track and target performance via
the Global Circularity Metric will help us engage in
uniform goal-setting and guide future action in the
most impactful way.
