Product Circularity Data Sheet

 

The PCDS consists of a circular data template and a data exchange platform to communicate the circularity of products:

  1. Defines a common language to describe the circular characteristics of products
  2. Set up a cross-functional B2B system in the form of an information flow
  3. Contributes to the implementation of circular economic models
  4. Facilitates the collection of reliable data throughout the supply chain
  5. Enables considerable savings to be made by standardizing data processing
  6. Guarantees product transparency while preserving manufacturing secrets (Intellectual Property)
An innovative solution for the efficient exchange of data on the "circular" properties of products.
