JUST-CIRCLE: Measuring and Advancing Circular Business Models for a Fair and Sustainable Transition

Objective

JUST-CIRCLE’s general objective is to design, test, and validate integrated frameworks for sustainability accounting, lifecycle impact assessment, and responsible circular business-model innovation that enable industry and social-economy actors to meet EU Green Deal/CEAP targets while strengthening competitiveness and user uptake. Methodologically, the project operates through three interlinked dimensions: (S) social adoption & just transition via co-creation with SMEs, social enterprises, workers, consumers and public buyers; (M) measurement, accounting & verification integrating EF-aligned LCA, SLCA and sustainability accounting with FAIR traceability; and (E) experimental co-design & ecosystem governance with large-scale field validation and toolkit development. Activities are structured into six work packages: WP1 management/QA; WP2 CBM design and stakeholder co-creation; WP3 assessment tools and traceability; WP4 pilot implementation and validation across four contexts—agriculture/agro-industrial, waste-to-energy, food services, and circular water reuse; WP5 a GDPR/FAIR Digital Knowledge Hub with EU clustering (CCRI/NEB); and WP6 impact assessment, exploitation and policy/standardisation pathways. The work culminates in pilot evidence (e.g. D4.1–D4.3) interoperable methods and indicator sets (D3.1–D3.3) practitioner training (D3.4) a live Knowledge Hub (D5.6) and policy-ready impact and replication packages (D6.1–D6.4).
