| Title | Developing a material selection index based on circularity: A multiple lifecycle approach |

| Abstract | Material selection is one of the most influencing tasks regarding circularity performance for a product. Since it largely defines the ability to recirculate and last longer through the reuse, remanufacture, refurbishment, or recycling of a product from its material processability and durability properties. However, existing approaches to selecting materials are not formally linked to the Circular Economy (CE) concept and do not contemplate recirculation and longevity attributes during the selection process. To contribute to that research direction, this article presents a selection material approach denominated Extended Material Circularity (EMC) which considers the ability to close and extend the loop of materials and the cumulated carbon footprint associated with multiple lifecycles. The EMC aims to provide a robust methodological approach to facilitate material selection when circularity is considered an essential requirement. The implementation of the EMC approach is demonstrated through two case studies considering both materials with dissimilar nature and materials within the same family. |
