Circularity Futures Workshop Series: Summary Report

Summary

The U.S. Department of Energy, through NREL, organized a three-part workshop series in Spring 2024 to address the critical lack of coordinated understanding, consistent metrics, and robust data in circularity modeling across various sectors. The initiative aimed to gather diverse stakeholder feedback to identify existing gaps, priorities, and challenges in advancing circular economy strategies. The workshops successfully pinpointed key issues such as inconsistent methods for emerging technologies, economic and social factor understanding, and significant data gaps, with the summary report published in January 2025 to guide future research and policy development.
