ABSTRACT={Managing the circularity performance of technical products is of utmost importance in a context of transition to more circular industrial practices that are in line with the objectives of sustainable development. Yet, in the absence of a stabilized definition of circular economy, a growing number of inconsistent circularity indicators have been recently developed, leading to some ambiguity in their use and implementation by industrialists. Through a systematic analysis of a set of 55 circularity indicators, a classification is proposed to bring clarification as to their appropriate use. We then propose a synthetic set of five indicators to accompany industrial practitioners in their transition towards more circularity. We suggest key avenues for future research to evolve towards a circular economy in an effective, efficient and sustainable way.}}
