Indicator
Circular projects are initiatives contributing to the circular economy, that are not (yet) financially independent or profitable, such as pilot projects or start-ups. This indicator is absolute, measuring the total number of circular projects in the port area. The port area is defined as the geographical territory managed by the Port Management Body.
How to measure its value
The circular projects can be identified by their link to the R-strategies. Port managing bodies and port companies could be surveyed.
Notes
Some circular projects may lie outside the port area, aiming to relocate there once scaled up. These are not included in the indicator. Confidential or unregisterd projects may also be missed, making underestimation likely.
The hierarchy of R-strategies and the impact level are currently not considered.
