This white paper explains what the circular economy is and how using standards, auditing and certification offers a pragmatic way for companies to begin their journey to responsible sourcing and

greater waste reduction. It shows how businesses can implement increasingly sustainable practices

on a step-by-step basis, helping them transition to a circular economy model at the pace that is right for them.
