Where does your organization stand on its journey toward the circular economy? Understanding your current position is the first step to planning effective next actions—and the Circular Maturity Measurement is a free, practical tool that helps you do exactly that.

Developed by Route Circular in collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht and Eindhoven University of Technology, this tool also integrates the experiences of over 30 circular pioneers such as Aebi Schmidt, LC Packaging, Auping, Interface, Philips, DSM, and Repeat Audio.

How does it work?

The test is structured as a questionnaire that looks at 10 key business management themes related to circular maturity. These cover different aspects of how circularity is (or isn’t yet) embedded in your organization’s strategy, processes, supply chains, and culture.

Completing the questionnaire only takes about 20 minutes, and once you submit it, you’ll immediately receive:

• Your circular maturity score across the 10 themes.

• An anonymous benchmark analysis comparing your results to other organizations.

• Concrete recommendations to help you take the next step in your circular journey.

  

  Your company is rated on a level from 0 to 5 on each of the 10 key business management themes, after which specific recommendations are suggested which you can explore and mark as done on your profile

What can you do with the results?

The insights from this tool can be used to:

• Understand strengths and weaknesses in your current approach.

• Identify quick wins as well as long-term priorities.

• Start meaningful conversations with your team, stakeholders, and partners.

• Track progress over time by repeating the measurement.

Once you do the test you have the opportunity to explore the Knowledge Hub which offers various free practical resources to continue your circular journey
