Organizations are currently facing substantial challenges regarding becoming circular by 2050 – also referred to as Circular Economy (CE). Subsequently, increasing complexity on all organizational levels creates uncertainty about respective organizational and technological capabilities and adequate strategies to develop these capabilities. Organizations are struggling in picking up the CE ambitions and answering the what’s in it for me question. Scholars are developing models and frameworks to enable organizations to measure CE performance. Over 125 assessment methods are available for micro level assessment – measuring up to 365 different metrics. Moreover, extant literature is available presenting barriers and opportunities for CE transformation focusing on industry, sector, region, etc. And, although a more holistic perspective is required to become circular mature, this is currently lacking. In this paper we present a multi-methodology view on approaches and how they are used (or not). Our main goal is to extend the existing body of knowledge with an eye on applicability and research directions to untie the Gordian knot of measuring circularity.

12/31/2021De Nederlandse maatschappij staat voor een belangrijke uitdaging. In 2030 moet de CO2-uitstoot met minimaal 49% zijn teruggedrongen en de Nederlandse industrie dient veel meer circulair te werken dan nu het geval is. In 2050 is de industrie circulair en stoot vrijwel geen broeikasgas meer uit. Een hele opgave als je bedenkt dat Nederland volgens de Nieuwe Economie Index nu nog op een score zit van 12.1% wat betreft circulariteit (Van ‘t Klooster et al., 2020). Voor de topsector Logistiek betekent dit dat er kennis en nieuwe concepten ontwikkeld moeten worden om duurzame logistieke oplossingen te realiseren.
