Quantitative Score The quantitative assessment provides information on Other important developments relevant to the score the implementation status of circularity based on the derive from the following topics: weight of resources used and ranges from 0 percent Input Product Design (all materials and products are handled in a linear way • Input: We increased recycled content in product 23% (26%) 62% (63%) packaging for cardboard, paper and polymers. at all stages of the value chain) to 100 percent (full However, these increases could not compensate implementation of circularity). We distinguish between for the changes in data on the recycling rates of calculations for tools and consumables, such as our high-volume steel suppliers. We also increased fasteners and other accessories, as the two areas differ CONSUMABLES fundamentally. the reuse of tools and components to 150 tons of Ø36% (38%) material, from a previous 120 tons of material. In the reporting year, the quantitative score for tools End of Life Production remained at 55 percent while decreasing from 38 to • Business model: We increased the sales of tools 11% (11%) 82% (83%) 36 percent in consumables. These changes stem from in our Fleet Management circular business model, ensuring that more customers have access to improved data quality, which informs the assumptions our circular value proposition, such as Tool Park that feed the Circelligence methodology.
