Structural design and empirical analysis on the circular economy index system for energy-intensive industries

The energy-intensive industries are the key fields of circular economy construction, but their circular economy index systems are not well discussed. Therefore the general structure of circular economy index system for the energy-intensive industries is designed here, based on the features of industry, social pressure, comprehensive performance and feasibility. The circular economy index system has the advantages of clear levels, compact structure, and being easy to operate, which are illustrated with two cases.
