circular economy, European Union, composite indicator, sustainabilityAbstract
The circular economy, in contrast to the linear one, sees the economy as a sustainable economic system. In this system economic growth is decoupled from resource use by reducing the use of natural resources and recycling them. The aim of this study is to examine the indicators specific to the circular economy for the 28 Member States collected by the European Union with a view to developing composite indicators at Member State level. The achievement of the research goal with the help of secondary data is based on Eurostat’s various databases related to a sub-sector of the circular economy. The study’s research has shown that although it is possible to create a composite indicator for the circular economy that measures all sub-areas, and thus create a ranking that measures the performance of EU Member States, it is also possible to create a ranking that measures the performance of the EU Member States. The composite results of the Member States highlight the fact that Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands are at the top of the rankings, while Hungary is in the middle, in 19th place, but even with the indicator it is not easy to measure the performance and ranking of EU Member States.
