Measuring circular reuse magnitude and replacement rate: A new method

•Reuse is an important circular strategy, yet data on the amount of reuse is lacking•Informal channels of reuse are not captured with current reuse measures•We propose a new method to calculate a new reuse measure (Total Reused Goods; TRG)•This new measure may form the basis for new regional or national reuse indicators•We nuance the environmental gains of reuse through calculating its replacement rate
