New ISO 59040:2025 Standard – Transparency and Innovation in the Circular Economy
In February 2025, the new standard ISO 59040:2025 – Circular Economy – Product Circularity Data Sheet was published. This standard provides a structured approach to the exchange of circular economy-related information and helps organizations track, document, and communicate the circularity of their products in a transparent and standardized manner.
What is ISO 59040:2025?
ISO 59040:2025 introduces the Product Circularity Data Sheet (PCDS) – a standardized format that facilitates tracking and sharing of product sustainability data across the supply chain. This standard supports businesses in developing effective sustainability strategies by promoting the circular economy and minimizing waste.
Key Benefits for Businesses:
✔ Improved Resource Management – Thanks to the standardized data collection and analysis format, organizations can more effectively identify opportunities for material recovery, product life extension, and waste reduction.
✔ Compliance with ESG Requirements – ISO 59040:2025 supports regulatory compliance and alignment with global sustainability frameworks and ESG reporting.
✔ Improved Digitalization and Data Integration – PCDS is in a digital, machine-readable format, facilitating automated data processing, system integration, and cross-border information exchange.
✔ Facilitating Cross-Sector Collaboration – A unified approach to product circularity data simplifies communication and coordination across industries, including manufacturing, retail, and logistics.
Implementing ISO 59040:2025 provides organizations with a powerful tool to improve their environmental and business strategies. Implementing the standard will allow companies to strengthen their credibility with partners and customers, optimize their use of resources and position themselves as sustainability leaders.
