Construction Products Regulation (CPR)
Circular Economy & Recycling making circular value creation measurable
The transition to a Circular Economy is one of the central pillars of the European Green Deal. For manufacturers and organizations, this means using raw materials more efficiently, avoiding waste, and keeping materials in circulation. kiwa supports you in this process with testing, certification, and audits that make recyclability, material efficiency, and recycling processes transparent and comparable.

The Circular Economy (Kreislaufwirtschaft) represents the transition from linear to circular business models. The aim is to keep products, components, and materials in the economic cycle for as long as possible.
