To achieve climate neutrality in Austria the circular economy is of key importance, but synergies and trade-offs between decarbonisation
and circular economy are poorly understood. CEDC implements scenarios into two linked models. The biophysical CE model traces
all material flows from inputs to outputs. The macroeconomic model also incorporates rebound-effects. Thus, scenarios on recycling,
life times, sharing, reuse and repair, infrastructure, etc. can be prudently assessed in terms of emissions, waste, resources,
employment and value-added to reveal rewarding strategies.
