Abstract:
This article analyses and proposes a few methodological approaches to account for carbon emissions of circular economy strategies within manufacturing companies designing circular products and services and to report their emissions reduction targets under the Science-based Target initiative (SBTi). We specifically reviewed the current accounting formulas for two strategies that cannot be currently accounted for Scope 3 emissions: 'Lowest suitable grade’ and 'Technical product longevity'. Our results provide potential solutions to account for these strategies before reporting back to the SBTi.
