Circularity Gap Report 2024 - A cicular economy to live with in the safe limits of the planet

Abstract

The 2024 edition of the Circularity Gap Report (CGR), published by Circle Economy in collaboration with Deloitte, finds that global circularity rate has decreased from 9.1% in 2018 to 7.2% in 2023. That means the share of secondary materials consumed worldwide is in decline. The report recommends policy, finance, and labor reforms that can reshape global systems to promote circularity.
