Circular Economy Material Carbon Savings Calculator

Calculate carbon savings from circular economy strategies: product life extension, remanufacturing, refurbishment, and material recycling loops vs linear production.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Calculate carbon savings from circular economy strategies: product life extension, remanufacturing, refurbishment, and material recycling loops vs linear production

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Circular economy strategies: product life extension — The circular economy strategies: product life extension recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Remanufacturing — The remanufacturing recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Refurbishment — The refurbishment recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Material recycling loops vs linear production — The material recycling loops vs linear production recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the circular economy savings result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the circular economy strategies: product life extension, remanufacturing, refurbishment, material recycling loops vs linear production for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate carbon savings from circular economy strategies: product life extension, remanufacturing, refurbishment, and material recycling loops vs linear production. Use the circular economy savings result to inform your calculation.
