Circular economy — Product circularity data sheet
The document provides a general methodology for improving the accuracy and completeness of circular economy related information based on the usage of a Product Circularity Data Sheet when acquiring or supplying products. This general methodology contains then a set of requirements that need to be established by an organization aiming to use the concerned data sheet when acquiring or supplying products, which also includes the trusted reporting and exchanging of circular economy related information. The document also provides guidance for the definition and sharing of a Product Circularity Data Sheet, considering the type, content and format of information to be provided. This guidance and these requirements are intended to be applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size and nature. These requirements implement a qualitative approach for business-to-business data exchange to be inclusive with small and medium businesses/enterprises and to protect confidential information.

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. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of
ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
The global economy is “linear” as it is mainly based on extraction, production, use and disposal. This linear
economy leads to resource depletion, biodiversity loss, waste and harmful losses and releases, all of which
collectively are causing serious damage to the capacity of the planet to continue to provide for the needs of
[49 ]
future generations. .[44] Moreover, several planetary boundaries have already been reached or exceeded.
There is an increased understanding that a transition towards an economy that is more circular, based on a
circular use of resources, can contribute to meeting current and future human needs (welfare, housing,
nutrition, healthcare, mobility, etc.). Transitioning towards a circular economy can also contribute to the
creation and sharing of more value within society and interested parties, while natural resources are managed
to be replenished and renewed and in a sustainable way, securing the quality and resilience of ecosystems.
Organizations recognize many potential reasons to engage in a circular economy (e.g. delivering more
ambitious and sustainable solutions; improved relationships with interested parties; more effective and
efficient ways to fulfil voluntary commitments or legal requirements; engaging in climate change mitigation
or adaptation; managing resource scarcity risks, increasing resilience in the environmental, social and
economic systems), while contributing to satisfying human needs.
The ISO 59000 family of standards (see Figure 1) is designed to harmonize the understanding of the circular
economy and to support its implementation and measurement. It also considers organizations, such as
government, industry and non-profit, in contributing to the achievement of the United Nations (UN) Agenda
[50 ]
2030 for Sustainable Development [45]. .
Figure 1 — ISO 59000 family of standards
Organizations throughout the world work with suppliers to acquire products. Many organizations establish
multiple supplier relationships to cover a variety of business needs, such as purchasing, development,
manufacturing, sales and after sales services. Conversely, suppliers provide products to a range of acquirers.
Acquirers and suppliers willing to enter or having entered a relationship for the purpose of dealing with a
variety of products should introduce the product circularity data sheet (PCDS) based on the circular economy
principles described in the ISO 59000 family of standards. The PCDS is intended to provide information to
support the understanding of the circularity aspects of a product, as aligned to the circular economy principles
according to the ISO 59000 family of standards. The PCDS is a method of reporting on the circularity
performance of a product using PCDS statements providing verifiable data.
This document:
v
a) provides a general methodology for implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing and maintaining a
PCDS when acquiring or supplying products;
b) specifies requirements for the reporting of information to be used when creating a PCDS template and
provides guidance about managing and sharing a PCDS;
c) contains guidance and requirements on how to exchange product information that supports the circular
economy using a PCDS;
d) is intended to facilitate circular economy business models as specified in ISO 59010, by focusing on the
exchange of circularity aspects of products (business to business relationship); and
e) e) is intended to be used by any organization wishing to adopt circular-economy-based practices in their
supplier or acquirer relationships.
Data collected by this method can be used for digitalized product documentation.
In order to ensure the application of this standarddocument, it can be beneficial to have in place tested and
mature systems that apply the specified methodology for managing product circularity data. In accordance
with ISO/IEC Guide 17, suitable solutions for all sizes of enterprises should be accessible to reduce burdens.
To ensure that small businesses can effectively manage the systems and comply with the standardconform to
this document, training programsprogrammes can be established. These programsprogrammes can aim to
educate small businesses on how to use the systems and understand the requirements of this
standarddocument. Recognizing that small businesses require more time and resources to implement the
standardthis document, a transition period can be provided.
The structure of this document is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 — Structure overview
Clause 5 provides acquirer and supplier guidance for successfully developing and implementing an acquirer
and supplier relationship strategy, plan and the associated agreement. Clause 5 also provides guidance for
considering PCDS from a risk management perspective.
The guidance contained in Clause 5 should be followed by an organization in the context of using a PCDS when
acquiring products or when supplying them, or both.
Clause 6 provides requirements and guidance for establishing and maintaining a PCDS template. It provides
guidance on mandatory and additional statements that can be considered when establishing a PCDS template.
Clause 7 provides requirements and guidance to suppliers on processes to produce and manage a PCDS. A
supplier is providing answers to each mandatory statement of a PCDS template in order to claim conformance
to this document. The additional statements and supplementary information of a PCDS template are not a
requirement of this document, meaning that a supplier may claim conformance to this document without
