Circularity labels identify and highlight the sustainable features of a product. There are 5 Circularity labels that indicate specific circular economy principles applied to a product:

1. Recycled or recyclable: Created to be recyclable or created from materials recovered from waste that would otherwise have been discarded. The materials have been processed and repurposed to form new products. The products can be made totally or partially from the recycled materials.

2. Upcycled: Useless or unwanted items transformed into new products perceived to be of greater value and quality. Upcycling is also known as creative reuse.

3. Biodegradable or compostable: Can naturally decompose into non-toxic elements in the environment.

4. Refurbished or remanufactured: Restored to a like-new condition for extended use.

5. Designed for durability or longevity: Built to last, reducing the need for frequent replacement. These labels help users easily identify products that support sustainability and circular economy principles.

If you are not familiar with these terms, there is an info icon next to each Circularity label thatprovides a quick reminder.
