The objective of the monitoring framework is to assess progress towards a more circular economy at EU and national level, through a limited set of keys, meaningful indicators that capture the main elements of the circular economy. This will also allow to assess the effectiveness of action at EU and national level, to identify best practices and differences of performances in specific areas, as well as the possible need for further action. The framework will be developed in close cooperation with the European Environment Agency and in consultation with Member States, and will aim to cover areas such as food waste, security of supply for key raw materials, repair and reuse, waste generation, waste management, trade in secondary raw materials in the EU and with non-EU countries, and the use of recycled materials in products.
