32. Reduced costs due to improved circularity
Demonstration action
Description

For selected cost type(s) (e.g. transport, virgin material costs, waste treatment costs), direct impacts on costs should be estimated.

Methodology

Quantification of cost savings for the selected cost type using a practical method. The estimate should be accompanied by a qualitative description of the method, which cost items are included and which are excluded, with a justification of the choice.
