A circular economy requires products that are intentionally designed for reuse, recovery, and continuous material cycles. Companies, customers, and regulators increasingly expect products to demonstrate measurable circularity performance and transparency throughout the value chain.
To substantiate your product’s circularity performance and move beyond general sustainability claims, companies can assess and verify the circular characteristics of their products through C2C Certified® Circularity. This certification framework, developed by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, helps organizations evaluate how effectively products contribute to a circular economy.
At Sustenuto, we support companies throughout the complete C2C Certified® Circularity certification process, customised to their needs, from feasibility analysis and supply chain engagement to assessment support and certification submission.
The circularity assessment of your products will:
clearly establish the circular potential of your products and materials,
provide insight into recyclability, recovery pathways, (re)cycled content, and material traceability throughout the supply chain,
identify opportunities to improve circular product design, packaging, sourcing, and recovery systems,
support compliance with increasing customer, procurement, ESG, and regulatory requirements related to the circular economy and ecodesign,
strengthen credibility by independently substantiating circularity claims through third-party verification,
stimulate innovation and collaboration with suppliers, recyclers, and value chain partners.
For many companies, C2C Certified® Circularity also serves as a practical framework to structure and accelerate circular product development strategies while preparing for future market and legislative expectations, such as the Digital Product Passports, ESPR or PPWR.
We help manufacturers and brands to efficiently navigate the technical requirements of the certification process, including:
product and supply chain assessments,
supplier communication and data collection where needed,
traceability and circularity documentation,
support in developing a product circularity plan,
Identify partners to create a circular infrastructure,
Assess material compatibility,
And overall project coordination.
Whether your company is exploring circular product certification for the first time or looking to strengthen an existing circularity strategy, we provide practical and hands-on support fit to your needs to help achieve verified circular product certification and support beyond.
