Circularity Metrics and Material Flow Analysis
topic
Textile circularity assessment quantifies material flow efficiency using the Ellen MacArthur Foundation Material Circularity Indicator and the Circulytics tool, tracking the fraction of input materials recovered at end-of-life through recycling versus lost to landfill, incineration, and product deterioration, and calculating the utility-adjusted linear flow index that penalises both material losses and reduced use cycles.
Role
Provides quantitative circularity performance metrics that enable textile brands and manufacturers to set measurable circular economy targets, benchmark progress against industry peers, and demonstrate to investors and regulators that circular business model claims are substantiated by verified material flow accounting rather than aspirational narrative.
