language

description Circular Transition Indicators (CTI) Overview

The Circular Transition Indicators (CTI) framework provides a set of metrics for companies to track their progress toward circularity. Unlike product-specific scores, CTI focuses on organizational change. It covers five dimensions: circular inputs, circular outputs, circular processes, circular business models, and circular value creation. This allows businesses to monitor how well they are integrating circular principles into their core operations, from procurement to customer service.
