Overview

The Product Circularity Data Sheet (PCDS) aims at establishing an official standard for communicating data on the circular economy properties of products throughout the supply chain. The PCDS is designed to save costs across the supply chain by improving circular economy data-sharing efficiencies, while protecting the integrity of data in an open format available to all platforms without proprietary fee-based software. Development started in 2018 when the Ministry of the Economy of Luxembourg asked the consultancy +ImpaKT Luxembourg to create and pilot a practical tool, in cooperation with Luxembourg’s ISO-accredited agency ILNAS and multinational manufacturing companies & platforms. The ultimate objective is an official standardized format that aligns with ISO, CEN or other standards, and the interim objective is a de facto industry standard. Learn more on https://pcds.lu/
