The Circularity Index
New research into the state of circularity in retail returns
The Circularity Index
The Circularity Index explores how effectively retailers are turning returned products back into value through resale, refurbishment, repair, donation and recycling. Based on research with 150 senior retail leaders across the UK and Europe, it benchmarks circular returns maturity across strategy, operations, value recovery and sustainability.
Discover how retailers are performing, the challenges they face, and the operational approaches that are helping leading organisations maximise value from returned products.
