Circular economy model framework in the European water and wastewater sector
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new circular economy model framework in the water and wastewater sector, which includes the six following actions: reduction, prevent wastewater generation in the first place by the reduction of water usage and pollution reduction at source, reclamation (removal), reuse, reuse of wastewater as an alternative source of water supply (non-potable usage), recycling, recovery of water from wastewater for potable usage, recovery, rethinking how to use resources to create a sustainable economy, which is ''free` of waste and emissions''.

How Circular is the Global Economy?: An Assessment of Material Flows, Waste Production, and Recycling in the European Union and the World in 2005
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied a sociometabolic approach to assess the circularity of global material flows and found that only 4 gigatonnes per year (Gt/yr) of waste materials are recycled in the EU and only 1.5% of processed materials are used to provide energy and are thus not available for recycling.
