To advance towards a circular economy, the European Commission adopted an action plan in 2020 as part of the European Green Deal. A revised monitoring framework was introduced in May 2023 to track progress, supported by Eurostat, which provides relevant data and indicators to assess the effectiveness of circular economy initiatives.
Eurostat monitors the circular economy's progress using a framework with 11 indicators across five key areas: production and consumption, waste management, secondary raw materials, competitiveness and innovation, and global sustainability. This data helps evaluate progress and effectiveness in transitioning to a circular economy.
