The Circularity Dataset Standardization

Creating a digital circularity fingerprint for products

Driven by the Luxembourg Ministry of the Economy, the “Circularity Dataset Standardization Initiative” aims at establishing an official standard for communicating data on the circular economy properties of products, in consultation with other standards organizations.

For each product, an international accepted dataset will describe its circular properties and include an auditable international industry standard.
