In today's regulatory landscape, circular economy metrics are becoming crucial for companies aiming to meet evolving standards like ESRS E5 and CSRD. Tracking recycled content is not just about sustainability marketing anymore; it is a fundamental requirement for achieving Scope 3 emissions reduction, enhancing material transparency, and demonstrating regulatory compliance.


Increasing Importance of Circular Economy: A report by the European Environment Agency states that "a circular economy can make a major contribution to Europe’s efforts to achieve a more sustainable economic system" and highlights the growing policy interest in this area. 

Regulatory Pressure (ESRS E5 & CSRD): The European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), including E5 on Resource use and circular economy, are mandated under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The CSRD aims to "ensure that companies publish reliable and comparable sustainability information." 

Impact of Material Choice on Scope 3 Emissions: According to CDP, purchased goods and services are a significant driver of Scope 3 emissions, often representing the largest category for many companies. Tracking recycled content directly addresses the embodied carbon within these goods.

How to Track Recycled Content for Circular Economy Goals and Carbon Management Impact

As the European Union enforces stricter regulations on sustainability, waste recovery and end-of-life (EoL) metrics have become critical indicators for companies aiming to comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS E5). These metrics help organizations quantify material circularity, reduce environmental impact, and build trust with customers, regulators, and investors.

Tracking waste and EoL performance is no longer an isolated CSR initiative; it is now a central component of carbon accounting, ESG ratings, and regulatory disclosures.

The Growing Role of Waste and EoL Metrics in ESG Reporting and Compliance

Effective waste and end-of-life management starts with tracking meaningful, measurable indicators:

Waste Recovery Rate – What percentage of generated waste is recovered, reused, or recycled?

Treatment Method – Breakdown of waste disposition methods such as landfill, incineration, mechanical recycling, or composting.

Recyclability Score by Product – A score or label indicating how recyclable each product or component is at the end of its lifecycle.

According to the European Environment Agency, over 50% of municipal waste in the EU is still not recycled, underscoring the urgency for better recovery systems and metrics.

These data points directly inform Scope 3 emissions calculations, product circularity scores, and CSRD/ESRS disclosures.

What to Measure: Essential Waste and End-of-Life KPIs for Circular Economy Impact

Despite its importance, many companies face structural and operational barriers:

Siloed Lifecycle Data – Information about waste and product disposal often exists outside of core carbon systems, making it hard to unify reporting.

Manual Data Collection – Companies rely on spreadsheets or site-level audits, leading to delays, errors, and poor data integrity.

Lack of EoL Standards – No unified scoring model for end-of-life metrics, leading to inconsistencies across business units or regions.

These challenges are not just administrative—they can delay audits, weaken ESG ratings, and risk non-compliance with CSRD.

Barriers to Accurate Waste and EoL Data Collection

Accurate waste and EoL tracking is not just about compliance:

It supports Scope 3 emissions reduction by extending product life and reducing landfill impact.

It contributes to defensible ESG ratings with traceable, audit-ready data.

It empowers companies to make sustainability claims with confidence, building stronger relationships with customers and stakeholders.

According to the European Environment Agency, by 2030, the EU aims to cut residual waste by 50% per capita; meaning companies that lack accurate recovery data could fall behind regulatory curves.

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, sustainability has transitioned from a commendable goal to an essential imperative. 

Central to this shift is the concept of the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), a metric that quantifies the total greenhouse gas emissions generated throughout a product's lifecycle. 

Understanding and managing PCFs are crucial for companies aiming to reduce their environmental impact, comply with stringent regulations, and meet the growing expectations of environmentally conscious consumers.

Understanding Product Carbon Footprint (PCF): A Comprehensive Guide

Scope 3 emissions, while challenging to measure and manage, represent the most substantial portion of a company's environmental impact. These indirect emissions encompass a wide range of activities beyond a company's direct operations, from purchased goods and services to transportation, product usage, and waste disposal. Industry data consistently indicates that Scope 3 emissions constitute a significant majority of total emissions for most sectors, often exceeding 70% and in some instances surpassing 90%.

Despite their magnitude, Scope 3 emissions are frequently underreported and inadequately addressed in corporate sustainability initiatives. Recent studies reveal that a relatively small percentage of these emissions are currently subject to targeted reduction efforts. This discrepancy underscores a critical gap in many sustainability strategies and represents a significant unrealized potential for meaningful environmental progress.

Scope 3: The Largest Source of Emissions Companies Do Not Control

The main reason Scope 3 lags behind is the difficulty in collecting reliable, supplier-specific data. Traditional methods rely heavily on spend-based estimations or industry-average emission factors. These can offer a quick overview but fall short when it comes to precision, comparability, or actionability.

Spend-based models assume a linear relationship between money spent and emissions, which overlooks supplier efficiency, product composition, and regional variations. Worse, this approach does not allow for hotspot identification or product-level tracking, two elements that are essential for carbon-informed decision-making in procurement and product development.

Verdantix research shows that fewer than half of companies feel confident in their Scope 3 disclosures, and only 8 percent use software tools for product carbon footprinting. The remaining majority depend on manual processes like spreadsheets, emails, or static surveys that are time-consuming, hard to verify, and nearly impossible to scale.

Why Estimations and Spreadsheets Are Not Enough

The real solution lies in supplier collaboration. Suppliers possess the primary data needed to calculate Scope 3 emissions accurately—yet many companies fail to involve them early or meaningfully. Instead of treating data collection as a one-way request, companies must shift toward partnership-based models that support, educate, and incentivize their suppliers.

Successful supplier collaboration starts with clear expectations. Suppliers need to understand why carbon data is being requested, how it will be used, and what support is available. Providing templates, methodological standards (like GHG Protocol or ISO 14067), and training materials helps demystify the process and boost participation.

Companies that take the time to onboard suppliers properly, offer guidance during submission, and provide feedback on data quality not only receive better inputs but also build trust. This collaborative foundation can evolve into joint decarbonization initiatives, shared KPIs, and long-term supplier development.

Supplier Collaboration: A Strategic Lever for Decarbonization

Effectively tackling Scope 3 emissions, the often-largest portion of a company's carbon footprint, necessitates robust and efficient collaboration with suppliers. The Environmental Intelligence System carbmee EIS directly addresses this challenge by eliminating the traditional hurdles associated with supplier engagement and data acquisition. The platform is specifically engineered to establish a repeatable, scalable, and verifiable process for collecting crucial Scope 3 data.

To facilitate seamless supplier integration, EIS offers automated invitation systems and intuitive, guided onboarding workflows. These features ensure that suppliers clearly understand the data requirements and the process for providing accurate information. Furthermore, the platform incorporates structured templates and intelligent validation rules, which proactively minimize errors and guarantee data consistency across all supplier submissions. This standardized approach significantly reduces the time and resources typically required for manual data cleaning and verification.

Beyond simplifying the data submission process, EIS provides companies with comprehensive real-time visibility into their Scope 3 data landscape. Organizations can effectively monitor data completeness, assess data quality, and gain immediate insights into their emissions profiles as data is submitted. This continuous monitoring capability empowers businesses to proactively identify areas for emission reduction and track progress towards their sustainability targets.
