Circular Economy: ISO 59004, ISO 59010 and ISO 59020

One day to move from the principles of the circular economy to indicators your customers can read. ISO 59004 sets out the vocabulary and principles, ISO 59010 guides the transformation of the business model and value network, ISO 59020 frames the measurement of circularity performance. The exercises work on your flows of materials, packaging and waste, up to a first measurement table.

  • Linear and circular economy: stakes for an exporting industrial company

  • ISO 59010:2024: analysing the business model and value network, choosing and prioritising transformations

Assessment and documents

Mid-day quiz, knowledge test at the end of the session, follow-up evaluation at D+1. Numbered training certificate, verifiable online, for each participant; training report, material balance and roadmap handed to the company.

Bilingual materials for every participant; each classroom course comes with its digital twin on OmniLearn.

Frequently asked questions

Can a company be certified to ISO 59004?

No. ISO 59004 and ISO 59010 give recommendations; only ISO 59020 contains requirements, and they concern the measurement of circularity performance, not a management system.

How does this course differ from the PPWR one?

The PPWR sets legal obligations on packaging placed on the European market. This day covers the circular economy approach of the whole company: materials, products, waste, business model and measurement.

What data should we bring?

A year of purchases of materials and packaging, by mass, the quantities sold and your waste registers with their destinations. Incomplete data is enough for the exercise; the course shows how to fill the gaps.
