CircularFlow — Circular Economy Assessment
Assess your organisation circular economy maturity across material flow, waste hierarchy compliance, resource efficiency, and circularity KPIs. Get a maturity score with improvement roadmap.
Why Circular Economy Matters for Indian Companies
BRSR Principle 2
BRSR asks about product lifecycle sustainability, recyclability, and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance. Circular practices directly improve your P2 disclosures.
EPR Obligations
Plastic, e-waste, and battery EPR rules mandate take-back and recycling targets. Circular economy strategies help meet these obligations cost-effectively.
Cost Reduction
Indian manufacturers waste an estimated 14% of raw materials. Circular practices — material recovery, remanufacturing, closed-loop supply chains — directly reduce input costs.
Assessment Framework
Circularity Dimensions
- Design — Design for disassembly, recyclability, durability
- Sourcing — Recycled content, sustainable procurement
- Production — Material efficiency, waste minimisation, by-product utilisation
- Distribution — Packaging optimisation, reverse logistics
- Use — Product-as-a-service, sharing models, repairability
- End-of-life — Take-back, recycling, EPR fulfilment
Maturity Levels
- Level 1 (Linear) — Take-make-dispose, minimal waste recovery
- Level 2 (Compliant) — Waste segregation, basic recycling, EPR registered
- Level 3 (Optimising) — Material flow analysis, closed-loop pilots
- Level 4 (Circular) — Systematic circularity, high recycled content, product take-back
- Level 5 (Regenerative) — Net-positive resource impact, full circular business model
