European foreword

This document (prEN 17861:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 134 “Resilient,

textile, laminate and modular mechanical locked floor coverings”, the secretariat of which is held by NBN.

This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.

Introduction

This document is intended to provide producers, distributors and consumers of floor coverings with a

clear understanding of how terms widely used with reference to the circular economy, are defined by and

apply specifically to the flooring sector. Figure 1 shows the material flows for floor covering in a circular

economy.

1 Scope

This document defines terms regarding circular economy that are used by the flooring sector.

2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https://www.electropedia.org/
3.1
circular economy

economic system aimed at maintaining the value of products, materials and resources for as long as

possible by extracting the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recovering and regenerating

products and materials at the end of each service life, while minimising the generation of waste

Note 1 to entry: It entails gradually decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources and

designing waste out of the system. It is based on three principles:
— Design out waste and pollution.
— Keep products and materials in use.
— Regenerate natural systems.

2. Ellen Macarthur Foundation “What is a circular economy”
www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/circular-economy/concept]
3.2
reuse
use of a product more than once in its original form

Note 1 to entry: The term reuse can be applied to floor covering which is uplifted at the end of its first life from one

setting and used again in a different setting, thus extending its use phase.

[SOURCE: ISO 15270:2008, Definition 3.32, modified by taking only the definition and using the term in

its non-hyphenated form]
3.3
design for recycling

approach to the design of a product that facilitates recycling at the end of its useful life

prEN 17861:2022 (E)
3.4
biomass

material of plant or animal origin, excluding material embedded in geological formations or transformed

to fossilised material

Note 1 to entry: This includes organic material (both living and dead) from above and below ground, e.g. trees,

crops, grasses, tree litter, algae, and animals.

[SOURCE: EN ISO 14021:2016, Definition: 3.1.1, modified definition (replacing “biological” by “plant or

animal”, and removing “excluding peat”), modified note (removing “and waste of biological origin, e.g.,

manure”)]
3.5
bio-based
derived from biomass

Note 1 to entry: It is essential to characterize the amount of biomass contained in the product by its (total) bio-

based content.

Note 2 to entry: The bio-based content of a product itself does not provide information on its environmental impact

or sustainability.
[SOURCE: EN 16575:2014, Definition 2.1, modified by taking only the definition]
3.5.1
bio-based material content

proportion, by mass, of material in a flooring product that is derived from biomass

Note 1 to entry: Normally expressed as a percentage of the total mass of the product.

Note 2 to entry: It is possible that quantification of the bio-based content is required by authorities or the market.

Note 3 to entry: Input materials can also be a combination of bio-based and non-biobased, in this case only the bio-

based fraction has to be taken into account.
3.6
biodegradable

capable of undergoing biological aerobic or anaerobic degradation during a defined period, in line with

the circular economy principles for renewable materials, leading to a release of carbon dioxide and/or

biogas and biomass, depending on the environmental conditions of the process
Note 1 to entry: Examples for standards to determine biodegradability are:

— EN ISO 17556:2019, Plastics — Determination of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials in soil

by measuring the oxygen dem
