| Definition |
The circular material use rate, also called 'Circularity rate', measures in percentage the share of material recycled and fed back into the economy - thus saving extraction of primary raw materials - in overall material use. The Circularity rate is thus defined as the ratio of the circular use of materials (U) to the overall material use (M).
The overall material use is measured by summing up the aggregate domestic material consumption (DMC) and the circular use of materials (M = DMC + U). DMC is defined in economy-wide material flow accounts. |
