Overview of CE Standardization Activities .
This discussion is meant to provide an overview of circular economy (CE) standards currently under development as well as those that have already been published.
This list does not claim to be exhaustive but rather a starting point for anybody looking for orientation among CE standards. The list will be updated throughout the next weeks.
International standards
ISO: TC 323 (under development)
- ISO 59004 "Terminology, principles, frameworks and management system standard"
- ISO 59010 "Practical approaches to develop and implement Circular Economy"
- ISO 59020 "Measuring and assessing circularity"
- ISO 59031 "Circular Economy in practice: experience feedback"
- ISO 59040 "Product circularity data sheet"
CEN: various guidance documents on the CE (2019-2020)
National standards
UK: BS 8001 (2017)
DE: Standardization Roadmap Circular Economy (2023)
I'd include here the long list of existing ITU-T standards about circular economy in the context of ICT:

In reply to I'd include here the long… by Leandro Navarro
Hi, this work item has concluded with a consented standard, with the support of StandICT, now in the fast-track ITU-T AAP approval process to become L.1061. More details in the outcomes of this workshop.
