Making circular entrepreneurship measurable

Measurability of circularity

By 2050, the Netherlands must be circular. A significant challenge. How do you demonstrate that you are already operating in a circular manner? Kiwa makes sustainable entrepreneurship transparent. We translate sustainable ambitions into concrete certificates and services. This way, you always meet the latest requirements and the expectations of your customers regarding recycling. Additionally, there is a difference between certifying systems and products. For example, the Circular Performance Ladder focuses on your management system, while the KIWAGREEN certificate applies specifically to your products.

Growing demand for disassembly, biobased and recycled products;
Tightened MPG (Dutch: Milieu Prestatie Gebouwen or Environmental Performance of Buildings) requirements as a benchmark for sustainable construction for all new homes and office buildings with a gross floor area of more than 100 m²;
Increasing control of Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and demand for substantiation with certified environmental declarations;
The introduction of the new material passport, which with the ESPR (Eco design for sustainable products regulation) is becoming compulsory for more and more sectors.
Increasing use of animal feed without genetically modified organisms (GMO).
