Note: As requested by the responsible SDO, this NOI being reissued as the standard was in the initial stages of development for more than 12 months. An additional comment period of August 15 to September 6, 2023 (originally published on September 27, 2022).

This document provides guidance for an organization seeking to transition its business models and value networks from linear to circular.

This document applies to any organization dealing with products or services regardless of its size, sector or region.

Project need:

To support the movement to a circular economy business practices where the current liner model of ‘take-make-waste’ is replaced with circular (reuse) practices and products, to avoid landfilling and the generation of waste. If organizations are able to effectively transition to circular operations this will lead to an extension of products useful life and will result in reduced carbon emissions and improved supply chain management, among other environmental benefits.
