SupportEnabler

Circular Type

Design & Lifecycle

• Circular Design Tools

Primary offering is a Circular Design Platform and verification standard - categorised as Design & Lifecycle (Circular Design Tools).

R Strategy

R2 - Reduce, R3 - Reuse, R8 - Recycle, R5 - Refurbish

Primary selection: 'Design for Longevity' and 'Enable Circulation' are explicit pillars of the Circularity Standard on the site, supporting R2 (Reduce) and R3 (Reuse). Secondary strategies include 'Design for Recycling' and platform features (e.g. sorting software, material library) that support R8 (Recycle) and R5 (Refurbish) - these are inferred from feature descriptions rather than explicit R-labeling on the site Source: circular.fashion, 2024.
