Metric Description and Business Purpose

The Weight of Secondary Reused or Recycled Components Used in Production metric quantifies the total weight of secondary materials—such as reused or recycled materials—used in the production process, measured in tonnes. It is a key indicator of an organization's dedication to sustainable manufacturing and circular economy principles. By measuring the use of reused or recycled components, this metric demonstrates efforts to reduce reliance on raw materials, reduce waste, and lower the environmental impact of production. It helps provide a benchmark for evaluating progress in sustainable resource use, improve resource efficiency, and decrease the organization’s carbon footprint through recycling and reuse.

Dimensions Related to Actuals

The dimensions associated with this metric include:

  • Time Dimension: Incorporating a time dimension allows for tracking changes in the use of secondary materials over time, helping organizations monitor progress towards increasing reuse and recycling in their production.

  • Reporting Structures (all): Applying this metric across all organizational structures enables a detailed analysis of reuse and recycling practices across different units, facilitating targeted improvements in material sustainability.
