Abstract [en]

Transition toward circular-economy model is a must to sustain the planet sources. Under circular economy model wastewater is transformed from a ste into a resource. Therefore, a comprehensive circular economy dex; the Circonomics Index, is proposed to measure circularity of stewater industry. The component indicators of the index are linked rectly to the three Rs; reduce, reuse and recycle, of circular onomy. The novelty of the proposed Index is that it uses objectively nstructed weights that reflect the environmental benefits of the eatment process, and the index captures the reuse and recycling ficiency of an WWTP, which reflect the specific nature of wastewater. e findings show that treatment technology is a major factor in termining the production efficiency, reuse rate and recycling rformance of a WWTP. The results of using the Circonomics Index have ofound implication for policy makers to speed up the process of moving a circular economy.
