Measuring circularity: an application of modified Material Circularity Indicator to agricultural systems

Abstract The transition from a linear to circular economy is research trend topic, as well the possibility measure degree of circularity products and systems. In economy, raw materials are taken nature transformed into final products, which subsequently used become waste. On contrary, an economic model that restorative by intent design. To fundamental for understanding processes improving them. Moreover, this kind could be useful driving policies on topic achieving higher level sustainability. Until now, only few studies have been focusing how effectively product, supply chain, or service. in paradigm, there two types cycles: technical biological ones. Biological cycles mainly connected agricultural sector, cycle, lack measurement even bigger. However, some productions, such intensive meat production processes, basically structure. Intensive broiler production, instance, uses quite high rate inputs, not entirely converted edible but instead results percentage wasteful outputs. aim work propose modification one available tools measuring circularity, Material Circularity Indicator (MCI), adapting it cycles. modified MCI was applied poultry integrating with Life Cycle Assessment methodology.
