The majority of circular economy studies primarily examine environmental impact and economic benefits of recycle and reduce strategies, while opportunities for decreasing environmental impact and resource consumption through reuse, repair, and remanufacturing remain underutilized.
“However, the majority of CE studies primarily examine the environmental impact and economic benefits of recycle and reduce strategies, while the most significant opportunities for decreasing environmental impact and resource consumption, circling around reuse, repair, and remanufacturing, still remain underutilized [7,8].”

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.
