As businesses increasingly adopt circular economy strategies, measuring success is crucial. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation created Circulytics, a new company-level analytics tool. It reveals a company's circularity across its entire operations, moving beyond just products and material flows. This tool supports decision-making, highlights strengths and areas for improvement, and offers optional transparency to investors and customers.

Developed with Global Partners and tested by over 30 companies, Circulytics helps organizations understand and advance their circular economy adoption. Key figures involved include Ilma Stankeviciute and Jarkko Havas from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and Tom Giddings of DS Smith, who has been instrumental in its assessment and use.
