UNI EN ISO 14044:2006 is a standard that provides guidelines for the conduct of life cycle assessment (LCA) of products and services.
This standard outlines the principles and framework for the implementation of an LCA, including goal setting, inventory analysis, impact assessment and interpretation of results.
The purpose of this standard is to provide a coherent and transparent methodology for assessing the environmental impact of products and services throughout their life cycle.
UNI EN ISO 14040:2006 is a European standard that specifies the principles and framework for the conduct of life cycle assessments (LCA) of products and services.
It provides a systematic and comprehensive approach to assessing the environmental impacts of a product or service throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction and production to distribution, use and disposal.
The standard outlines four phases of the LCA process: goal and scope definition, inventory analysis, impact assessment and interpretation.
Remade In Italy is the voluntary environmental product certification, born in Italy, to indicate the production of Italian products regenerated, repaired or renewed from waste materials or unused products, in order to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability.
Remade in Italy is therefore an example of Circular Economy, which promotes the rethinking of the traditional linear economic model, favoring instead the creation of a system in which reuse and recycling are considered an added value and not a cost.
The BS 8001 standard is the English standard published in 2017 by the British standardization body BSI.
The BS 8001 standard aims to help organizations and individuals to consider and implement more circular and sustainable practices within their businesses, introducing better ways of working, providing more circular products and services or redesigning their entire business model.

The AFNOR XP X30-901 standard is the French standard published in 2018 by the AFNOR standardization body and is the only international reference for the implementation of a management system for the circular economy of an organization.
It was created to be an international reference point for all companies that want to adopt circular solutions within their value chain, production systems or service delivery.
It also allows organizations to provide a methodology for managing and reporting on one or more projects for the transition to circular economy models.
ISO 14040 is an international standard that provides guidelines for life cycle assessment (LCA) of products and services.
The standard describes the principles and requirements for carrying out a life cycle analysis and establishes the procedures for the environmental impact assessment.
Life Cycle Analysis is a methodology used to assess the environmental impact of a product or service throughout its life cycle, from production to disposal.
ISO 14040 establishes the following principles for life cycle analysis:
The use of ISO 14040 provides useful information to improve the sustainability of products and services and to promote the adoption of sustainable practices in industry.
