Nobody can make it alone in the circular economy - How can indicators solve the challenges of the circular economy?
The efficient use and exchange of information are considered fundamental aspects for the prosperity of ecosystems, being them natural or industrial.

However, there are significant data gaps that currently prevent the implementation of circular economy in practice.
