The Circularity Gap Report 2021
2021, Circle Economy
The first Circularity Gap Report presented the alarming statistic that our world economy was only 9.1% circular, leaving a massive Circularity Gap. The Report, launched in January 2018 during the World Economic Forum in Davos, has since been updated and published on an annual basis. This iteration marks the fourth edition. The Reports provide high-level insights into the global metabolism and key levers for transitioning to circularity, as well as supporting decision-makers by communicating metrics and better measurement of the circular economy to guide their action. Yet, updating the Circularity Metric is not feasible on an annual basis
due to the limited availability of data. Since 2020, the Circularity Gap Reporting Initiative also explores how data to inform stakeholder decision-making can best be collected, communicated and made globally accessible.
