We apply measures to efficiently manage resources such as water and energy, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and support the integration of circular economy principles
Some examples of good practice are listed below. You can contribute specific examples by clicking the ‘Share my case study’ button.
> Tracking and reporting waste generated and disposed of, emissions of air pollutants, including short-lived climate pollutants such as black carbon and methane, and GHG, land pollution, water discharged, impacts of transportation and significant spills
> Understanding the waste caused by the design of products and services
> Planning mitigation/remediation measures, environmental protection expenditures and investments in their own operations and the supply chain
> Assessing the impact of their product after the first cycle and implement circular business models to create a system that allows for long life, optimal reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling
> Extending responsibility to the post-consumer stage of a product’s lifecycle, including collecting or taking back used goods, sorting or treating for recycling or reuse
> Implementing circular business models such as using renewable, bio-based or fully recyclable inputs, recovering resources, extending product lifecycle

A non-exhaustive list of initiatives is set out below, aiming to provide a direction for companies eager to go further on this topic:
Establish a roadmap to implement an effective strategy on circular economy
Follow the framework and guidance of BS 8001:2017
Follow the principles outlining a model of circular economy - Ellen McArthur Foundation and McKinsey Center for Business and Environment; Adapted from Braungart & McDonough, Cradle to Cradle (C2C), and eventually become a member of the multi-stakeholder program CE100
Get a Material Health Certificate or a product certification from Cradle to Cradle
Others.
Signatories to the IFRA-IOFI Sustainability Charter can provide input on these frameworks and programs, or suggest others.
