Scope:

Note: An additional comment period of Ausgust 13 to September 4, 2019 has been applied to ANSI/CAN/UL 3600, as the standard was in the initial stages of development for more than 12 months. All corresponding dates will apply as per the Publication Schedule.  (Original comment period was from 2018-04-05 to 2018-04-26).

 

The standard will establish circular economy metrics and reporting requirements for products, sites and organizations which can be used to communicate and track their performance.

Project need:

To assist consumers or other purchasers in identifying environmentally preferable (circular) products or services and companies wishing to promote such services or products. Today the circular economy is a concept which is communicated inconsistently. The standard will establish circular economy metrics and reporting requirements for products, sites and organizations which can be used to communicate and track their performance.
