Judge 1
This proposal is original because it adds maximum traceability and trust to circular economy with blockchain. To the benefit of the project, it would be interesting to have a concrete example of the potential application and real-world impacts. The presentation should be aimed towards a wider public to really focus on the main ideas of the proposal in a lighter way.

Judge 2
This proposal is certainly interesting in the field of research and could contribute to further reflexions on circularity indicators. However, the implementation of this "zero waste block chain" in real life remains unclear.

Judge 3
It is written in a very academic way and introduced concepts are hardly understandable. Blockchain technology is for sure one of the enablers for circular transition but in this case, I can not understand the direct impact on existing economical (or other) challenges. Maintaining value is what we are aiming for with by the implementation of circular economy model and engagement of different stakeholders in this circular transition. How can we use the proposed model to lead this change? Would appreciate reading a "simplified version" of this interesting and holistic proposal.

Judge 1 :

Interesting use of entropy equations with the blockchain technology for currency. Focus on waste and elimination of landfill Circular economy is about retaining value - no such strategies in this proposal Very much a research focus, and seems like a topic for a PhD or post-doctorate. Highly theoretical and unclear how this theory would be practically implemented. Even if a model or solution were to be developed, unclear how this would be adopted by the different stakeholders who would be involved.

Judge 2 :

The proposed framework for evaluating circular economy initiatives seems interesting and original. Finding the suitable indicators is challenging but necessary. Many paths can be considered to circularise our economy with potential bouncing effects and we need tools to help us choosing the good ones considering a global scale. With this in mind, I must admit it remains quite difficult to judge a proposal like this one which reflect research at a high academic level in a field I do not master. As mentioned by the author, making all those concepts understandable for layperson will be a great challenge. The proposal itself could benefit from some simplification.
