Standartisation Roadmap Circular Economy
October 2021, Nicole Kösegi, together with Dr Edith Classen and Mario Malzacher, takes over the lead of the Textiles Work Group within the framework of the Circular Economy Standardisation Roadmap of DIN, DKE and VDI.

The aim of the roadmap is to provide an overview of the status quo of standardisation in the field of Circular Economy, to identify requirements and challenges for the seven key topics and, deriving from this, to formulate concrete needs for action for future standards.
