On 25 November 2025 Austrian Standards in cooperation with the Circular Economy Forum Austria, we cordially invite you to the Expert Talks Circular Economy 2025, which will focus on the role of norms and standards in the implementation of the circular economy. Under the title Circular by Standard: Innovation through standardisation, ecodesign & digital product passports we look at how the targeted application of standards and the promotion of eco-design can make a decisive contribution to advancing the circular economy.
At a time when ecological challenges are more pressing than ever, clear guidelines for sustainable action are needed. Norms and standards offer exactly that - they create structure, transparency and innovation. Under the title "Circular by Standard" our expert talk is dedicated to the decisive levers for a successful circular economy: Standardisation, ecodesign and digital product passports.
Experience exciting keynotes, concrete company examples and interactive roundtables - and discuss with experts from business, standardisation, research and politics. Together, we will shed light on the potential of circular systems and show how standards can become a driving force for innovation and resource conservation.
