"CIRCULATOOL 20-21" CIRCULATOOL-TOOL FOR IMPROVING THE CIRCULARITY LEVEL OF COMPANIES IN THE FURNITURE-METAL SECTOR. DESCRIPTION This project is aligned with a line of research that is being followed in AIDIMME, focused on making available to companies simple tools that allow them to carry out actions towards a circular economic model. CIRCULATOOL proposes the creation of a tool to improve the level of circularity so that SMEs in the furniture and metal sector have access to clear information about the strategies they can adopt to improve their level of circularity. OBJECTIVES The main objective of this project is the creation of a tool to improve the level of circularity for companies in the furniture-metal sector, called CIRCULATOOL. This tool will allow companies to provide a guide when selecting actions that will allow them to improve their level of circularity. In addition, a circular economy brand will be developed, which aims to stimulate the most circular companies to differentiate themselves from the rest, and also serve as a motivation for other companies. This project arises due to the need to support SMEs in the furniture and metal sectors in the process of transition from a "linear" to a "circular" economic model.
