After analyzing the data from 226 large manufacturing companies from the European Union, a team of researchers from Lithuania, Poland and Sweden have drawn a conclusion that many organizations do not mention circular economy principles in their environmental reporting. In their reports, the organizations mostly refer to the effective use of primary flows and minimizing waste. However, the other principles related to product lifecycle extension and useful application of materials are not sufficiently disclosed, according to a recent study lead by researchers of Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania.
