CircLean Site Readiness Assessment
The CircLean site readiness assessment allows you to see how ready your company is to engage with industrial symbiosis.
As your company becomes more aware of industrial symbiosis and your company’s processes, resource inputs and outputs and alternative solutions for these resources, your company increases its readiness level.
Level 1 means your company has an awareness of IS but has not carried out anything active to instigate industrial symbiosis.
Level 9 means your company has posted resources on the matching tool and/or is actively looking for solutions.
