Sub-questions: -What metrics, indicators and tools are in use or being developed in other countries to monitor the circular economy?
-How will metrics be required to develop and evolve as understanding and definitions of the ‘circular economy’ change over time?
-Are there novel approaches for developing circular economy metrics in Scotland based on existing or emerging data?
