TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a new value-based indicator to assess the performance of actors in the supply chain in terms of resource efficiency and circular economy, which is defined as the percentage of the value of stressed resources incorporated in a service or product that is returned after its end-of-life.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new metric for the recycling rate based on the Circular Economy Index (CEI), which measures the ratio of the material value produced by the recycler (market value) by the intrinsic material value1 entering the recycling facility.

TL;DR: The results obtained by MDS and the quality assessment of the plastic products by HSI showed that the combined action of these two technologies is a valid solution that can be implemented at industrial level.

TL;DR: The potential of shredder residue, one of the possible polyolefin's waste stream sources for the IMDS, is discussed in detail, and experiments with the separation of polyolefins with an IMDS prototype show both high grade and high recovery.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of smart demolition, grinding of the crushed concrete in an autogenous mill to increase the liberation of cement mortar from the surface of aggregates and a novel dry classification technology called ADR was examined in a demonstration project involving 20,000 tons of EOL concrete from two office towers in Groningen, the Netherlands.
