Regenerating natural systems
Design out waste and pollution
Keep products & materials in use
PRINCIPLES:
… a systemic approach to the design of processes, products (incl. services) and business models, enabling sustainable economic growth by managing resources effectively as a result of making the flow of materials more circular and reducing and ultimately eliminating waste
Reaching sustainable economic
growthwhile
retaining value in a circular
economy
Twelve SDGs dependent on management of (natural) resources
Circularity is a way to achieve responsible consumption & production and other SDGs dependent upon natural resources
9
Take-back mechanisms to return products and materials
to use. Reutilization includes products and parts reuse,
refurbishment, remanufacture, and materials recycling
Improved material use and circulation: products designed to last and to facilitate repair,
reuse, upgrade, refurbish, and remanufacture; easy EoL
disassembly; use of standardized parts
Full Circular Economy implementation requires market mechanisms to be supported by policy-makers, educational institutions and public opinion
The shift from linearto Circular Economy requires new or revised innovative business models to replace existing ones

Circular Economy has broad scope involving social and economic aspects, but also regeneration of natural systems, which are not in the scope of the IEC
Resource Efficiency expresses how (natural) resources can be used to deliver sustainable development while minimising the environment impacts.
12
Material Efficiency expresses how efficiently materials are applied to deliver a function and the extent to which they are kept in use For many years, the focus of, e.g. legislators, has been the improved Energy usage (Energy Efficiency) of EE products
With the increased demand on the use of materials, and the imminent scarcity of (natural) resources, legislators extended their focus to the material usage and its preservation

• Use less materials and refrain from using raw materials unless you have to; give preference to use already used components and recycled materials
• Extend or give a second (or third) life to your product; make it easy to repair and upgrade
• Facilitate repeated use of products by different users
• Design for end-of-life

• The Circular Economy, and in particular Material Efficiency, will influence otherdisciplines like Safety, Energy Efficiency, Performance, EMC, etc.
• It is important to ensure that the protection of the environment does not result in a detrimental effect to other aspects (safety, EMC, etc.). A holistic approach is needed!
• Increased focus on e-waste management and product lifetime extension will push manufacturers to change the way they drive their businesses today: − business models like sharing and lease will likely drive products to be developed to last
much longer than they do today− multiple reuse and repair, reuse of components and increased recycled content will
become commom practice in the future; IEC standards need to be prepared for it
• Limited supply and scarcity of materials are expected to drive the need for development of new technologies

Q&A Session
26
• Today there is no complete or accurate overview of definitions of terms associated to Circular Economy and Material Efficiency
• The existing definitions are often created based on different contexts, often conflicting with each other and there is, often, no common understanding of the same or similar terms
• Example: “reuse”
27
1. process by which a product or its parts, having reached the end of their first use, are used for the same purpose for which they were conceived [EN 45554:2020]
2. activity of recovering components and materials for further use without reprocessing [ISO 21070:2017]
3. any operation by which products or components that are not waste are used again for the same purpose for which they were conceived [Dir. 2008/98/EC]
4. use of a product more than once in its original form [ISO 15270:2008]5. use of a pre-existing artifact [ISO/IEC 19501:2005]6. use of a part which has served as constituent of a product, after
disassembling, as constituent of another product [IEC 62309:2004]

*RAPID stands for Returns, Analysis, Parts recovery, Improvement and Data collection; ** Compared to total plastics content
Lumify is a flexible subscription service providing access to transducers, app and online ecosystem. The subscription service reduces upfront costs to help clinicians improve patient care
The Diamond Select program offers refurbished healthcare systems where customers can benefit from state-of-the-art technology at a more affordable price
RAPID* program reuses 50-70% parts / materials from returned X-ray tubes
Performer Ultimate vacuum cleaner contains 36% recycled plastics**
Philips SmartPathis an economical way to enhance existing Philips systems to current technology or increased capacities. Key components are upgraded so that the system is like new
Performance Bridge is a flexible suite of services that provides analytics enabling efficiency in use of resource-intensive hardware devices
Digital ECG sensors that remove the need for dedicated monitor hardware
Every year, 1 million products are returned from dealers or consumers - Personal Health has developed capabilities to resell and refurbish (if needed) these returns, aiming to combine sustainability and consumer experience
