European Standards and International standards are being developed in the field of Circular Economy.

These standards provide recommendations, requirements, methodologies and tools to support and measure the transition towards a circular economy, whilst contributing to a sustainable green economy. These standards are being developed by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 473 - Circular Economy which was established in 2023 by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), or by the ISO/TC 323 - Circular Economy established by the International Standardization Organization (ISO).
