ISO 59020 covers Circular economy — Measuring and assessing circularity performance.

It provides a structured approach for organisations to measure and assess their circularity performance. It aims to standardise the process by which organisations collect and calculate data, using mandatory and optional circularity indicators.

This standard will:

  • help organisations align with global sustainability goals
  • enhance transparency and accountability in environmental reporting
  • support strategic decision-making for sustainable resource management.

You can read a sample or purchase the full version on the ISO website.

Together with ISO 59004 and ISO 59010, these standards offer a complete toolkit for achieving a circular economy, from principles to measurement.
