The circular economy is an economic structure in which resources are continuously valued and reused, replacing the traditional "take-produce-consume-dispose" model. This transformation, from production processes to consumption and from waste to re-input, aims to protect natural resources, increase energy and material efficiency, and enhance system resilience.
Why is ISO 59004 Important?
ISO 59004 is an international standard that places circular economy practices within a systematic and sectoral framework.
This standard includes the circular economy vision, its core principles (systems thinking, value creation, value sharing, resource management, resource traceability, ecosystem resilience), and guidance for implementation.
This standard, which aligns with the 2025–2028 National Circular Economy Strategy (UDESEP) published in Turkey, creates a new and high-growth potential area for consultancy services.
