Regenerating natural systems

Design out waste and pollution

Keep products & materials in use

PRINCIPLES:

… a systemic approach to the design of processes, products (incl. services) and business models, enabling sustainable economic growth by managing resources effectively as a result of making the flow of materials more circular and reducing and ultimately eliminating waste

Reaching sustainable economic

growthwhile

retaining value in a circular

economy

Page 9: Circular Economy and Material Efficiency - Principles T ... · • The Circular Economy, and in particular Material Efficiency, will influence other disciplines like Safety, Energy

Twelve SDGs dependent on management of (natural) resources

Circularity is a way to achieve responsible consumption & production and other SDGs dependent upon natural resources

Page 10: Circular Economy and Material Efficiency - Principles T ... · • The Circular Economy, and in particular Material Efficiency, will influence other disciplines like Safety, Energy

Take-back mechanisms to return products and materials

to use. Reutilization includes products and parts reuse,

refurbishment, remanufacture, and materials recycling

Improved material use and circulation: products designed to last and to facilitate repair,

reuse, upgrade, refurbish, and remanufacture; easy EoL

disassembly; use of standardized parts

Full Circular Economy implementation requires market mechanisms to be supported by policy-makers, educational institutions and public opinion

The shift from linearto Circular Economy requires new or revised innovative business models to replace existing ones

Circular Economy has broad scope involving social and economic aspects, but also regeneration of natural systems, which are not in the scope of the IEC

Resource Efficiency expresses how (natural) resources can be used to deliver sustainable development while minimising the environment impacts.

Page 12: Circular Economy and Material Efficiency - Principles T ... · • The Circular Economy, and in particular Material Efficiency, will influence other disciplines like Safety, Energy

12

Material Efficiency expresses how efficiently materials are applied to deliver a function and the extent to which they are kept in use For many years, the focus of, e.g. legislators, has been the improved Energy usage (Energy Efficiency) of EE products

With the increased demand on the use of materials, and the imminent scarcity of (natural) resources, legislators extended their focus to the material usage and its preservation

• Use less materials and refrain from using raw materials unless you have to; give preference to use already used components and recycled materials

• Extend or give a second (or third) life to your product; make it easy to repair and upgrade

• Facilitate repeated use of products by different users

• Design for end-of-life

New ways for guaranteeing compliance, safety and performance?

LIKELY TREND POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCE

Products will be required to last longer

What are the implications for safety, performance, reliability, SW update?

Legislation will demand more and easier product repair

Minimum requirements for parts reliability? Are tests needed/available for repaired products?

Products will be required to be reused (multiple users)

Data removal and security must be guaranteed

Legislation will require increased reuse of used parts

In the future, “new” products will contain used parts

• A number of international standards, needed to prevent or reduce technical barriers to trade, are under preparation by IEC and ISO

• In Europe, Material Efficiency requirements are being included in the Ecodesign Laws and, with it, the number of requests for thedevelopment of Material Efficiency standards for productsincrease

• Some countries are already forging ahead with the creation of policies and standards to support the Circular Economy and Material Efficiency

• The Circular Economy, and in particular Material Efficiency, will influence otherdisciplines like Safety, Energy Efficiency, Performance, EMC, etc.

• It is important to ensure that the protection of the environment does not result in a detrimental effect to other aspects (safety, EMC, etc.). A holistic approach is needed!

• Increased focus on e-waste management and product lifetime extension will push manufacturers to change the way they drive their businesses today: − business models like sharing and lease will likely drive products to be developed to last

much longer than they do today− multiple reuse and repair, reuse of components and increased recycled content will

become commom practice in the future; IEC standards need to be prepared for it

• Limited supply and scarcity of materials are expected to drive the need for development of new technologies

• Today there is no complete or accurate overview of definitions of terms associated to Circular Economy and Material Efficiency

• The existing definitions are often created based on different contexts, often conflicting with each other and there is, often, no common understanding of the same or similar terms

• Example: “reuse”

2. activity of recovering components and materials for further use without reprocessing [ISO 21070:2017]

3. any operation by which products or components that are not waste are used again for the same purpose for which they were conceived [Dir. 2008/98/EC]

4. use of a product more than once in its original form [ISO 15270:2008]5. use of a pre-existing artifact [ISO/IEC 19501:2005]6. use of a part which has served as constituent of a product, after
