nationaux de normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est en

général confiée aux comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit

de faire partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales

et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux. L’ISO collabore

Le présent document a été élaboré par le comité technique ISO/TC 207, Management environnemental,

L’un des principaux défis auquel tout le monde est confronté pour parvenir à un développement durable

est l’utilisation efficace des ressources et leur réutilisation répétée sans en diminuer la valeur,

l’utilisabilité, etc. Sur le plan international, le Groupe international d’experts sur les ressources (GIER)

du Programme des Nations Unies pour l’environnement (PNUE) prévient qu’au rythme actuel de

production et de consommation, l’humanité consommerait 140 milliards de tonnes de ressources

naturelles en 2050, soit le double de la quantité consommée en 2005. Une telle consommation des

ressources naturelles, qui ne tient pas compte de la circularité des matériaux, a déjà entraîné une

instabilité des approvisionnements en ressources et de graves impacts environnementaux négatifs .

L’ONU a adopté 17 objectifs de développement durable (ODD) en 2015 et a fixé des cibles spécifiques

pour chacun d’eux à atteindre au cours des 15 prochaines années. L’ODD 9 (Bâtir une infrastructure

résiliente, promouvoir une industrialisation durable qui profite à tous et encourager l’innovation),

l’ODD 12 (Établir des modes de consommation et de production durables) et l’ODD 13 (Mesures relatives

à la lutte contre les changements climatiques) sont directement liés à la gestion des ressources naturelles.

L’Union européenne (UE) a mis l’accent sur le passage d’une économie linéaire à une économie circulaire

afin de parvenir à un développement durable. Le concept d’économie circulaire englobe un large

éventail de sujets, allant du cycle de vie complet des produits aux modèles économiques. Le concept

général d’économie circulaire consiste à boucler la boucle entre différents cycles de vie par l’application

de conceptions qui permettent d’améliorer le recyclage et la réutilisation pour une utilisation plus

efficace des matières premières et des produits, en limitant (ou éliminant) les déchets. L’une des

méthodes à envisager pour soutenir la transition vers une économie circulaire est la mise en œuvre d’une

conception qui facilite la circularité des matériaux des produits et de leurs parties constitutives

Étant donné que les produits sont en grande partie composés de ressources naturelles, la circularité des

matériaux des produits joue un rôle important dans l’utilisation durable des ressources. Le sentiment

général est qu’il convient que la stratégie/planification de la circularité des matériaux des produits et de

La circularité des matériaux peut être considérée comme une approche intégrée au processus de

conception et développement par laquelle des produits, des parties ou des matériaux peuvent être

continuellement retransformés en produits identiques ou similaires afin de parvenir à une utilisation

rationnelle des matériaux et (en définitive) d’atteindre les objectifs environnementaux de l’organisme.

Afin que cela soit bénéfique pour l’organisme et pour s’assurer que l’organisme atteigne ses objectifs

d’utilisation rationnelle des matériaux, il est attendu que l’amélioration de la circularité des matériaux

fasse partie intégrante des activités économiques de l’organisme. La circularité des matériaux peut

Le présent document fournit des lignes directrices sur les stratégies de circularité des matériaux pour

parvenir à une utilisation rationnelle des matériaux, c’est-à-dire « réduire le plus possible l’utilisation de

ressources naturelles en maximisant la durée de vie des produits grâce à l’amélioration de la conception,

avec des possibilités accrues de réparation, d’amélioration, de réutilisation, de refabrication et de

Un processus d’amélioration de la circularité des matériaux relève du processus de conception et

développement de l’organisme, et c’est là que les connaissances requises pour la mise en place et la

gestion de la circularité des matériaux doivent se trouver. Toutefois, lorsqu’il est prévu que la circularité

des matériaux se fasse sous l’égide d’un système de management environnemental (SME), le responsable

du SME est censé avoir une bonne compréhension de ce processus et de la manière dont il va être géré et

contrôlé. De cette manière, l’intégrité du SME n’est pas menacée et les objectifs d’utilisation rationnelle

des matériaux ainsi que les autres objectifs environnementaux pour les produits peuvent être atteints.

L’intégration de l’utilisation rationnelle des matériaux dans un SME nécessite des connaissances

a) l’évaluation de la circularité des matériaux contenus dans les produits conçus par l’organisme ;

b) l’identification de stratégies appropriées de circularité afin d’améliorer la circularité des matériaux

contenus dans les produits et leurs parties constitutives et soutenir la réalisation des objectifs de

c) le processus de conception et développement, et la compréhension de la façon dont les processus

d’amélioration de la circularité des matériaux et la manière de les gérer s’inscrivent dans un SME.

L’ISO 14001 est une norme de base qui fournit à l’organisme un cadre pour l’établissement d’un

système de management environnemental (SME). Il existe quatre éléments essentiels pour accompagner

les utilisateurs de l’ISO 14001. L’un d’eux est lié aux « éléments de politique et d’organisation » tels que

ceux liés à l’utilisation durable des ressources, et est également illustré dans deux normes

complémentaires, à savoir l’ISO 14006 sur l’éco-conception et le présent document, ISO 14009, sur la

L’ISO 14006 fournit des lignes directrices qui assistent les organismes dans l’établissement d’une

approche méthodique et structurée pour l’intégration et la mise en œuvre de l’éco-conception au sein

L’IEC 62430 , en revanche, décrit les principes, spécifie les exigences et fournit des recommandations

aux organismes qui ont l’intention d’intégrer les aspects environnementaux dans le processus de

conception et développement afin de réduire le plus possible les impacts environnementaux négatifs des

produits. L’IEC 62430 peut être intégrée dans un système de management existant comme indiqué dans

En Europe, des normes sur les méthodes d’évaluation de l’utilisation rationnelle des matériaux sont en

cours d’élaboration pour répondre aux futures exigences d’éco-conception concernant, entre autres, la

durabilité, la réparabilité et la recyclabilité des produits liés à l’énergie. Ces normes sont directement

liées au présent document. La préparation de ces normes est pilotée par le Comité technique

commun CEN-CENELEC n° 10 (CEN-CLC JTC 10) sur les Produits liés à l’énergie — Aspects de l’utilisation

rationnelle des matériaux pour l’éco-conception. Certaines des normes du JTC10, l’EN 45556 ,

l’EN 45558 et l’EN 45559 (couvrant, respectivement, la proportion de composants réutilisés, la

déclaration de l’utilisation de matières premières critiques et la communication des aspects relatifs à

l’utilisation rationnelle des matériaux) sont publiées, tandis que les autres normes sont à différentes

L’ISO 14001 exige qu’un organisme identifie les aspects environnementaux et les impacts

environnementaux correspondants, en adoptant une perspective de cycle de vie. Cela implique de

prendre en compte les aspects et les impacts à chaque étape du cycle de vie du produit, y compris le

processus de conception et développement. L’ISO 9001 est axée sur les systèmes de management de la

qualité, y compris le processus de conception et développement, mais ne couvre pas les impacts

environnementaux. L’ISO 14006 met l’accent sur le système de management pour la mise en œuvre d’une

conception éco-responsable par un organisme. L’IEC 62430 facilite, avec des processus d’intégration, la

mise en œuvre d’une conception éco-responsable par un organisme. Enfin, le groupe de normes

du CEN-CLC JTC 10 se concentre sur les méthodes d’évaluation relatives à l’utilisation rationnelle des

matériaux et à la circularité des matériaux, mais ne couvre pas les cadres du management

One of the major challenges that we all face in achieving sustainable development is the efficient use

of resources and reuse of these resources repeatedly without diminishing their value, usability, etc.

Internationally, the United Nations Environment Programme International Resource Panel (UNEP IRP)

warns that, at the current pace of production and consumption, 140 billion tons of natural resources

will be consumed in 2050, which is twice the amount consumed in 2005. Such use of natural resources,

which does not consider material circulation, has already resulted in unstable resource supplies and

The UN adopted 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) in 2015 and set specific targets for each of

them to be achieved over the next 15 years. SDG 9 (“build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive

and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”), SDG 12 (“ensure sustainable consumption

and production patterns”) and SDG 13 (“take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts”)

Emphasis on the transition from a linear to a circular economy in order to achieve sustainable

development has been spearheaded by the European Union (EU) . The concept of a circular economy

encompasses a wide range of topics, from the full life cycle of products to business models. The general

concept of a circular economy is closing the loop between different life cycles through the application

of designs that allow for the enhancement of recycling and reuse for the more efficient use of raw

materials and products, limiting (or eliminating) waste. One of the methods to consider for supporting

the transition to a circular economy is implementing a design that facilitates the material circulation of

Considering that products are largely composed of raw materials, the material circulation of products

plays an important role in the sustainable use of resources. The widely held perception is that strategy/

planning for the material circulation of products and their constituent parts should precede their

Material circulation can be understood as an approach integrated within design and development by

which products, parts or materials can be continually reprocessed into the same or similar products in

order to achieve material efficiency and (ultimately) the environmental objectives of the organization.

In order to be of benefit to the organization and to ensure that the organization achieves its material

efficiency objectives, it is intended that the improvement of material circulation be carried out as an

integral part of the business operations of the organization. Material circulation can potentially have

This document provides guidelines for strategies on material circulation to achieve material efficiency,

i.e. minimize the use of materials, by maximizing the lifetime of products through improved design, with

increased opportunities for repair, upgrade, reuse, remanufacturing and recycling by an organization.

A material circulation improvement process takes place within an organization’s design and

development, and it is there where the knowledge required in carrying out and managing material

circulation is to be found. However, when it is intended that material circulation be carried out under

the umbrella of an environmental management system (EMS), then the person responsible for the EMS

is expected to have an understanding of what this process is, and how it is going to be managed and

controlled. In this way, the integrity of the EMS is not jeopardized, and the material efficiency and other

Incorporation of material efficiency within an EMS requires knowledge related to the following:

b) identification of appropriate material circulation strategies to improve the material circulation

of products and their constituent parts, and to support the achievement of the material efficiency

c) the design and development process, and an understanding of the material circulation improvement

ISO 14001 is a core standard that provides the organization with a framework for establishing an

EMS. There are four key elements to support users of ISO 14001. One of them is related to “policy and

organizational elements” such as those related to sustainable use of resources, and further exemplified

in complementary standards: ISO 14006 on ecodesign and this document (i.e. ISO 14009) on material

ISO 14006 provides guidelines to assist organizations in establishing a systematic and structured

approach to the incorporation and implementation of ecodesign within an EMS such as that described

ISO 14051 provides guidance on a methodology [material flow cost accounting (MFCA)] that can be

used for quantifying material flows in a production process or an organization. ISO 14052 has extended

this concept by providing guidance on using this methodology for quantifying material flows in a

supply chain. The MFCA methodology can easily be adapted and used for quantifying material flows in

a product life cycle. Although this methodology could be used for quantification of material flows in a

have been developed to support future ecodesign requirements on, among other things,

durability, reparability and recyclability of energy-related products. These standards are directly

ISO 14001 requires an organization to identify environmental aspects and the corresponding

environmental impacts, taking a life cycle perspective into account. This involves considering aspects

and impacts in each stage of the product life cycle, including design and development. ISO 9001 is

focused on quality management systems, including design and development, but does not cover

environmental impacts. ISO 14006 is focused on a management system to implement environmental

conscious design by an organization. IEC 62430 assists with the incorporation processes to implement

environmental conscious design by an organization. Lastly, the European EN 4555X group of standards

focus on assessment methods related to material efficiency and material circulation, but they do not

cover environmental and business management frameworks, as described in this document.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

One of the major challenges that we all face in achieving sustainable development is the efficient use

of resources and reuse of the resources repeatedly without diminishing their value, usability, etc.

Internationally, the United Nations Environment Programme International Resource Panel (UNEP IRP)

warns that at the current pace of production and consumption, mankind would consume 140 billion

tons of natural resources in 2050, which is twice the amount consumed in 2005. Such use of natural

resources, that does not consider material circulation, has already resulted in unstable resource

The UN adopted 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) in 2015 and set specific targets for each of

them to be achieved over the next 15 years. SDG 9 (Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive

and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation), SDG 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and

production patterns), and SDG 13 (Climate action) are directly related to managing natural resources.

Emphasis on the transition from a linear to a circular economy in order to achieve sustainable

development has been spearheaded by the European Union (EU). The concept of a circular economy

encompasses a wide range of topics, from the full life cycle of products to business models. The general

concept of a circular economy is closing the loop between different life cycles through the application

of designs that allow for the enhancement of recycling and reuse for the more efficient use of raw

materials and products, limiting (or eliminating) waste. One of the methods to consider for supporting

the transition to a circular economy is implementing a design that facilitates the material circulation of

Considering that products are largely composed of natural resources, material circulation of products

plays an important role in the sustainable use of resources. The widely-held perception is that strategy/

planning for material circulation of products and their constituent parts should precede their design

Material circulation can be understood as an approach integrated within the design and development

by which products, parts or materials can be continually reprocessed into the same or similar

products in order to achieve material efficiency and (ultimately) the environmental objectives of the

organization. In order to be of benefit to the organization and to ensure that the organization achieves

its material efficiency objectives, it is intended that improvement of material circulation be carried out

as an integral part of the business operations of the organization. Material circulation can potentially

This document provides guidelines for strategies on material circulation to achieve material efficiency

i.e., “minimize the use of natural resources, by maximizing the lifetime of products through improved

design, with increased opportunities for repair, upgrade, reuse, remanufacturing and recycling by an

A material circulation improvement process takes place within an organization's design and

development, and it is there where the knowledge required in carrying out and managing material

circulation is to be found. However, when it is intended that material circulation be carried out under

the umbrella of an environmental management system (EMS), then the person responsible for the EMS

is expected to have an understanding of what this process is and how it is going to be managed and

controlled. In this way, the integrity of the EMS is not jeopardized and the material efficiency and other

Incorporation of material efficiency within an EMS requires knowledge related to the following:

b) identification of appropriate material circulation strategies to improve material circulation of

products and their constituent parts and support achievement of the material efficiency objectives

c) the design and development process, and an understanding of how material circulation

ISO 14001 is a core standard that provides the organization with a framework for establishing an

environmental management system (EMS). There are four key elements to support users of ISO 14001.

One of them is related to “policy and organizational elements” such as those related to sustainable use

of resources, and further exemplified in two complementary standards, ISO 14006 on ecodesign, and

ISO 14006 provides guidelines to assist organizations in establishing a systematic and structured

approach to the incorporation and implementation of ecodesign within an EMS such as that described

IEC 62430, 10 on the other hand, describes principles, specifies requirements, and provides guidance

for organizations intending to integrate environmental aspects into the design and development in

order to minimise the adverse environmental impacts of products. IEC 62430 can be incorporated into

In Europe, standards on material efficiency assessment methods are under development to support

future ecodesign requirements on, amongst others, durability, reparability, and recyclability of energy-

related products. These standards are directly linked to this document. The preparation of these

standards is driven by the CEN-CENELEC Joint Technical Committee 10 (CEN-CLC JTC 10) on Energy-

related products — Material Efficiency Aspects for Ecodesign. Some of the JTC10 standards, EN

45556, 16 EN 45558 18 and EN 45559 19 (covering, respectively, proportion of reused components,

declaration of use of critical raw materials and communication of material efficiency aspects) are

ISO 14001 requires an organization to identify environmental aspects and corresponding environmental

impacts, taking a life cycle perspective into account. This involves considering aspects and impacts

in each stage of the product life cycle, including design and development. ISO 9001 is focused on

quality management systems, including design and development, but does not cover environmental

impacts. ISO 14006 focus on management system to implement environmental conscious design by an

organization. IEC 62430 assists with incorporation processes to implement environmental conscious

design by an organization. Last, the CEN-CLC JTC 10 group of standards focus on assessment methods

related to material efficiency and material circulation, but they do not cover environmental and
