“Our dashboards and our reports are designed to facilitate human interaction and decision-making processes. They don’t just show the percentage of your circular performance, they also showcase what we call ‘lost potential’m the difference between the opportunity you have to reuse a material at the end of its life and its actual recovery. Because in the end, only what you’re able to actually recover can be reused or recycled or refurbished.”
