Despite the circular economy entering the mainstream, global circularity is still in decline.

This year’s report introduces a roadmap to address declining circularity rates by focusing on three key areas: unlocking capital, enforcing policy shifts, and bridging skills gaps. It categorizes strategies across income levels (“Build,” “Grow,” and “Shift” countries) and emphasizes cross-sector collaboration to drive global circular transformation.
