The German Standardization Roadmap – Circular Economy40 was developed by DIN, DKE and VDI in a broad participation process involving over 550 experts from various fields and is intended to support the transition from a linear to a circular economy.
The roadmap provides an overview of the status quo of standardization in the field of circular economy, describes requirements and challenges for seven key topics and formulates concrete needs for action for future norms and standards. The key topics are: Digitalization / Business Models / Management, Electrical Engineering & Information and Communication Technology, Batteries, Packaging, Plastics, Textiles and Buildings & Municipalities. The roadmap is based on the focus topics of the EU Commission’s Circular Economy Action Plan.
The roadmap addresses all relevant market players in the cycle, such as manufacturers, retailers, consumers, disposal companies, recycling companies, authorities, NGOs and research institutions.
