Building on recent insights in exploring material circularity, this study attempts to develop a methodological approach toward allocating an available circularity potential based on modeling the optimal chain of products in a manner that ensures utilizing the same material as many times as possible. The allocation of available circularity potential implies limitations on the use of specific primary materials for manufacturers of certain products by establishing access to the appropriate quality material used previously only for the modeled chain, thereby providing the greatest possible number of turns for a particular material in the economic system. This study adds to the current understanding of methods to maximize material looping in a circular economy by keeping the application range of specific materials as wide as possible, thereby preserving its long-term value. The findings contribute to the operationalization of a recycling strategy justified by its limitations on the use of primary materials for manufacturers of certain products to avoid wastage. Furthermore, the findings present a novel future research agenda for managing circularity potential with regard to continuous build-up and optimal allocation to save the value of material in the system as long as possible by increasing the number of its revolutions.

探索有关残余材料多次使用的循环潜力

基于最近在探索材料循环方面的见解，本研究试图开发一种方法论方法来分配可用的循环潜力，该方法基于以确保尽可能多地使用相同材料的方式对最佳产品链进行建模。可用循环潜力的分配意味着通过建立对先前仅用于建模链的适当质量材料的访问来限制某些产品制造商对特定主要材料的使用，从而为特定材料提供最大可能的匝数。经济系统。这项研究通过保持特定材料的应用范围尽可能广泛，增加了当前对循环经济中材料循环最大化方法的理解，从而保持其长期价值。这些发现有助于回收策略的实施，其理由是限制某些产品的制造商使用主要材料以避免浪费。此外，研究结果提出了一个新的未来研究议程，用于管理循环潜力，以通过增加其转数来尽可能长时间地保存系统中材料的价值。
