The project is set to deliver an advanced method for assessing the sustainability of manufacturing processes and products, integrating evaluations of circularity, environmental impact, and social sustainability. This method will provide a composite score for manufacturing options, reflecting all three dimensions to facilitate comparison and decision-making. It will also reveal the trade-offs between these dimensions, offering essential insights for optimizing manufacturing practices. Developed through a multi-criteria decision analysis, the scoring system will combine both quantitative and qualitative indicators into a single, comprehensive metric. This will significantly aid manufacturers and policymakers in identifying the most sustainable and circular options. The method's effectiveness will be validated through programming in Python, case studies, and expert feedback, ensuring its practicality and accuracy in real-world scenarios.
