Circular Economy Training Part 1

Service Description

In the first part of the 3-part training program, we are going to dive into the following modules: Module 1: Introduction to the ISO 59000 Series and Circular Economy Frameworks Understanding the ISO 59000 Series: Overview of the ISO 59000 standards, including ISO 59001, ISO59010, and ISO 59020. Explanation of their significance in establishing a global framework for circular economy practices. Principles of the Circular Economy: Introduction to circular economy concepts such as regenerative design, closing material loops, and life cycle thinking, based on ISO guidelines. Standardization for a Circular Economy: How the ISO 59000 series contributes to uniform practices and benchmarks for circularity across industries. Module 2: Circularity Assessment and Metrics (ISO 59020) Measuring Circularity: Explanation of ISO 59020 guidelines for assessing circularity, including material efficiency, recycling rates, and product lifecycle analysis. Circular Economy Indicators: Key indicators and metrics for evaluating the circular performance of products, processes, and organizations. Data Collection and Reporting: Guidelines for collecting data on circularity, setting benchmarks, and reporting progress according to ISO standards. Module 3: Circular Design and Innovation (ISO 59010) Designing for Circularity: Principles of circular product design based on ISO 59010, such as modularity, durability, and ease of disassembly. Life Cycle Thinking in Design: Incorporating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to minimize environmental impacts and enhance product circularity. Case Studies in Circular Innovation At the end of the Training you will receive the Certification: “Certified Circular Economy Officer” by Austrian Standards International, the Austrian member of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Being politically independent and neutral, Austrian Standards has ensured a transparent standardization process in Austria since 1920.
