  • Which part(s) of the previous outcomes are relevant to the circular economy?
  • Can circularity help to reduce the dissipative use of CRMs?
  • Can criticality be used as an indicator to prioritize elements or agenda goals?
  • How do we deal with trade.offs regarding reducing ecological impacts and saving resources?
  • How will changes in demand of raw materials due to transitions in energy and mobility affect economic systems?
  • What is the relation between criticality, circular economy and the Sustainable Development Goals?
  • Can the circular economy reduce the risks of supply shocks?
  • How are circularity indicators integrated into LCA? How is criticality integrated into LCA? Is this comparable/compatible?
  • Are circularity and criticality similar with regards to the definition of scope (e.g. national, global, industrial perspectives)?
  • How do urban stocks and urban mining relate to circularity and criticality?
