Circularity Declaration
What Circularity Declaration Covers
The Circularity Declaration demonstrates your commitment to circular economy principles by providing transparent proof that your products are designed for longevity, repair, and recycling.
Under the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), products sold in Europe must meet quantified circularity thresholds — minimum recycled content percentages, repairability scores, durability ratings, and end-of-life recyclability metrics. The European Commission's Green Claims Directive simultaneously makes it illegal to advertise "recyclable" or "circular" without independently verifiable evidence. For product teams, this creates a documentation requirement that sits between engineering (design-for-disassembly specs) and compliance (regulatory declarations).
Circularity evidence is inherently cross-functional. Bill-of-materials data comes from engineering. Recycled content certificates come from material suppliers. Repairability information requires input from after-sales and service design. Durability test reports originate in quality labs. Without a single system of record, these inputs scatter across departments and become impossible to audit when a market surveillance authority or retail buyer requests proof behind a circularity claim.
Sustalium connects these inputs into one declaration record per product. Engineering uploads disassembly instructions and material composition data. Procurement attaches supplier recycled-content certificates. Quality links durability test results. The declaration auto-populates from this evidence, producing both a public-facing circularity page that satisfies the Green Claims Directive and the machine-readable data fields that Digital Product Passports require. When a product revision changes a material or supplier, the platform flags which declaration fields need updating.
