This work sheds light empirically on gap with a fuzzy Delphi study carried out in region strong institutional support for paradigm. Through consensus 25 experts, set impact categories CE was scrutinized. results contribute to widening current quantitative vision employment generated by CE, through exploration its qualitative aspects. According our findings, technological innovation high‐skilled appears be crucial. Likewise, anticipate impacts derived from collaboration among stakeholders context still at an incipient stage. expert panel also socio‐cultural and behavioral changes.

Indicator-based methods have long been used as assessment tools in relation to measuring and purportedly enabling sustainable transitions. Common limitations of indicator approaches are well documented the literature, include both technical issues related data availability handling complexity, epistemological challenges such nature trade-offs risks associated with reductionism. Nevertheless, remain popular due their ability convey complex information timely a synthesised way policy- decision-makers. In light this, burgeoning literature on indicators for Circular Economy (CE), we aim reflect extent which suitable engendering transformative social ecological transition just CE. To do so, examine broad by considering an archetypal three step process selection, framing, implementation. As critical CE scholars keen repoliticise embedding principles justice, ask what serve our purposes, whether stance towards should be things better or different? Our answer this is: both. Yet emphasise need reconceive ‘better’ moving beyond fixes problems address more fundamental rethink purpose approach not tool, but politicised artefact shaping alternative narratives.
