Planning circular-economy solutions
A three-part framework for analysing and selecting circular-economy solutions: a public Knowledge Inventory of existing practices, a login-based Evaluation Toolkit for multi-criteria assessment of feasibility and sustainability, and a Strategic Planning module for roadmapping and risk assessment.
Built in the CSSBoost project, funded by the European Union. Guests can browse the inventory of practices; registered users take part in moderated evaluation sessions.

From an inventory of practices to a ranked choice
Knowledge inventory
A searchable database of circular systemic solutions, filtered by by-product, stakeholder, urban, rural or industrial implementation, and technology readiness level.
Multi-criteria evaluation
Participants weight criteria such as circularity or social impact and score each option. The toolkit computes total scores and rankings.
Individual and group results
Bar, spider and box-plot charts compare each participant's scores and weights with the group's.
Strategic planning
Barrier-mitigation roadmaps and risk assessment for each value chain support pilot design and regional deployment.
