Cover Story: While the concept of circular economy has recently gained major attention, it is necessary to develop engineering parameters that support the design of circular processes. Towards achieving that aim, statistical entropy is a concept that, in conjunction with material flow analysis, can help analyze recycling processes from a material-centric perspective.
