What is BS 8001 - Circular economy about?

In contrast to the ‘take, make, dispose’ model of the linear economy – the circular economy concept looks for materials to be repeatedly recovered and reused for as long as possible.

It’s a concept that’s gaining growing international attention, so in response, BSI has produced a first circular economy standard, BS 8001, providing a practical framework to help organizations adopt circular economy approaches. 

Who is BS 8001 - Circular economy for?

BS 8001 on the circular economy can be used by any organization, regardless of sector, size, location, or type.

BS 8001 will also be useful irrespective of an organization’s present level of knowledge and understanding of the circular economy.

Why should you use BS 8001 - Circular economy

BS 8001 on the circular economy provides guidance and recommendations that will help an organization turn the circular economy concept and theory into practical action. 

BS 8001 will help provide environmental benefits through improved resource use in addition to delivering financial and social benefits, through economic, employment, and innovation opportunities.
