Existing approaches were extended for this purpose by integrating official data from material flow accounting with waste and emissions statistics. High-quality data is required for macro-level monitoring - potentially a hurdle if the framework is to be widely applied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The study applies the framework to the example of Austria and shows that in 2014 Austria had a share of 8.5 % of secondary raw materials in processed materials (Input Socioeconomic Cycling Rate - ISCr) and a share of 16.8 % of recycled materials in intermediate products (Output Socioeconomic Cycling Rate - OSCr). Challenges to the robustness of these estimates arise from gaps in data availability and reporting, both on the input and output side, which need to be harmonised in order to achieve effective, holistic Circular Economy (CE) monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The authors emphasise that there is a strong link between CE and energy consumption and that CE could contribute to combating anthropogenic climate change. A systematic approach is needed to better understand the totality of material flows, waste and emissions in the economy and the associated environmental impacts. This requires linking resource inputs and outputs as well as waste and emissions data at national level. In order to develop evidence-based and effective circular economy measures that both increase resource efficiency and reduce environmental impacts, a monitoring framework that works at a national level is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can download the study here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.circulareconomyforum.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CE-Monitoring-framework-Austria-Jacobi-Haas-Wiedenhofer-2018.pdf\" style=\"background-color:#018fba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacobi et al. entwickelten ein Monitoring-Framework f\u00fcr die Kreislaufwirtschafts-Implementierung auf nationaler Ebene.
