Abstract
The paper attempts to develop a framework for circular data throughout the whole value chain from raw material mining to finished product manufacturing, from end-of-life products collection via refurbishing to recycled product manufacturing. In order to cover by metrics all enterprises belonging to different economy sectors, we propose to use the specific approach to measure circularity based on the segmentation of the whole resource cycle as a set of transformations of a substance or group of substances at all stages of its use by human. The findings contribute to development an industry standard for circular data by enterprises belonging to different economy sectors.
