Abstract:
The global depletion of non-renewable resources and climate change has lead scientists and politicians to change in the area of running modern economies. The best option currently seems to be the transition from a linear economy to a circular economy. However, there is no current agreed global vision on how to complete the circle. Therefore, it seems necessary to introduce a standard management system in the field of circular economy. The goal of this paper is to contribute with an overview of existing norms regarding circular economy and to assess the possibility of using them to create the ISO standards.
