Overview of CE Standardization Activities

I'd include here the long list of existing ITU-T standards about circular economy in the context of ICT:

• the L.series in Study group 5
• and the active work items in question 7 on circular economy

There are 17 active work items in ITU-T Q7/SG5 and that is connected to ITU-D work on the environment:
