Companies in the electronics sector are stepping up their efforts to move to circular business models.

This shift is driven by evolving consumer needs, materials scarcity and regulatory pressure. Electronic waste is another major and worsening issue, with all the accompanying environmental and social costs.

Adopting a standardised methodology can help businesses measure and manage their progress during this shift. It aligns the way companies gauge success, drive improvement, work with stakeholders along the value chain and prepare to report progress internally and externally.

This document describes Circular Transition Indicators (CTI), a metrics framework positioned to be the universal language of circular performance and accountability. CTI enables businesses to assess circularity levels, set improvement targets and monitor progress.
