 CASTech is an assessment tool, which assesses a specific aspect of an overall impact of a proposed solution. Our assessment focus is on a proposed solution, which should provide some improvement in terms of circularity level. We consider an Exploitable solution to be composed of a (1) Key exploitable technology being put in a specific (2) Exploitation pathway.

In order to evaluate a circularity level of a proposed solution which is based on a key exploitable technology put in the context of a selected exploitation pathway, we need to collect data at several levels through the CASTech questionnaire.

Please, take into account that we can only evaluate the circularity level of a proposed solution, when a key exploitable technology is put in the context of a specific exploitation pathways. In other words, a technology cannot create an impact if it is not put in a context of a meaningful use. Therefore, we first define the exploitation pathway chosen to for the exploitation of a selected key exploitable technology. Next, we evaluate the circularity level assessing two dimensions: circular potential of a proposed Exploitable solution.
