Accelerating the Shift to a Circular Economy

How CTI Tool Can Help Reach Your Sustainability Goals

The Circular Transitions Indicators (CTI) framework was developed by WBCSD and 30 of its members. CTI helps companies measure and improve their sustainability performance by providing a simple and sector-agnostic way to measure circularity and giving insights into how to reduce primary resource use and waste generation.
Circular IQ’s CTI Tool is the WBCSD endorsed software tool for effectively measuring CTI and leveraging these insights.

Understanding the Circular Economy

The world is becoming increasingly aware of the need to transition towards a circular economy. Given the growing awareness of the limitations and negative impacts of our current linear economy, characterized by a take-make-waste model, the shift towards a circular economy, where waste is eliminated and resources are continuously reused, is inevitable and urgently needed. But how do companies move towards a more circular approach in their operations, specifically in their material use? How do they ensure they’re on track to achieve their 2030 goals?

A circular economy involves rethinking our traditional economic model and putting into practice a system that is restorative and regenerative by design. It aims to redefine growth, focusing on positive societal benefits and moving away from the consumption of finite resources.

The Challenge of Transitioning

For many businesses, the transition to a circular economy presents a challenge. It requires an innovative and multifaceted approach, not just in data-collection, design and manufacturing processes, but also in the ways that materials are sourced, used, and managed at the end of their life cycle. This transition becomes even more pressing as companies set ambitious sustainability goals for 2030.

The Role of CTI Tool in Accelerating the Transition
