The literature search covered the past 22 years, starting at the year 2000, because the concept of circular economy started to emerge then.
“The literature in the past 22 years was searched, starting at the year 2000 as the concept of circular economy started to emerge (Türkeli et al., 2018).”
From Packaging design for the circular economy: A systematic review (2022) · cites this paper as Türkeli et al., 2018
The paper's Concluding Remarks say the circular-economy concept took shape in the United States in the 1960s and that the term appeared in China in the mid-1990s—not that the concept began to emerge in 2000. The 22-year literature search describes the citing authors' own method, not a finding attributed to this source. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
