Measuring circularity of product and services in the prospect of new design regulation

The event will focus on measuring the circular economy, a topic that is increasingly felt at different levels: system, sector, enterprise, and product. Following the success of the 2022 and 2023 initiatives, this year's workshop will look at the evolution of circularity measurement considering both the development of national and international legislation standards and the diffusion of experiences in the different sectors.

In particular this year focus will be on methods and processes to measure circularity of products and services, by using innovative tools based on check-up approaches as well as LCA-based circularity indicators.
The workshop aims to present an overview of the different international and national approaches and then explore the usefulness of measurement with companies and associations that have applied the different approaches and can contribute to the refinement of the available tools.
