Human-induced climate change is causing widespread disruption, therefore changes need to be made if we are to secure our future. The EU-funded CircEUlar project will develop new modelling methods to analyze circularity from a systems perspective. The initiative will examine dematerialization and the transition to a service-based economy to limit material stock growth, the lifetime extension of material stocks through repair and maintenance, and waste treatment and material recycling. CircEUlar will combine new data and modelling of economy-wide material stocks and flows, greenhouse gas emissions, and industrial value chains across interconnected sectors with deep-dive analysis of mobility and buildings. The project will also focus on digitalization and integrate new findings on circular economy potentials and impacts into EU and global modelling frameworks.
