Circular Living Standards

Shape the future with circular products

The climate emergency demands urgent action.

45% of global emissions
can only be tackled by changing the
way we make and consume products.

Making better use of the products
and making them last longer
could save G7 countries nearly 
800 million tonnes CO2e 
per year by 2030.

Designing for circularity is part of the solution. Circular products are products that have been designed, produced, and/or used in ways that eliminate waste, keep resources in use for as long as possible, recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of their useful life.

Introducing circular living standards certification.

The certification for circular living standards are a transparent, science-based, data-driven, comprehensive suite of certifications tailored to reduce a products impact on the environment because they are: 

 

  • Made with circular materials (Recycled, Upcycled, Renewable content).
  • Designed to extend the life of the product (Preloved, Refurbished, Repairable, Durability, Reusable, Refillable).
  • Designed to be recycled or composted at the end of their useful life.  

 

We aim to complete 3 standards before January 2025 for the following circular products: Preloved; Reuseable; and Refillable. We also intend to start development on a Durability standard.
