Circularity Assessment
Are you capturing value? Find what's leaving your system uncaptured.
1. Do you know all the physical outputs that leave your operation (waste, by-products, scrap)?
2. Have you mapped where each output stream goes?
3. Do you pay for disposal of anything that could have value?
4. Have you explored whether anyone would buy what you throw away?
5. Do you have equipment or space that sits idle more than 30% of the time?
6. Have you monetized any by-product or waste stream in the past 2 years?
7. Do you know businesses nearby that might need your outputs as their inputs?
8. Do you recover any energy (heat, cooling) from your processes?
9. Do you have data or knowledge you collect but don't use?
10. Can you estimate the annual value of what leaves your system uncaptured?
