Summary

Recommendation ITU-T L.1023 outlines an assessment method for circularity scoring of information and communication technology (ICT) goods.

The assessment method consists of three steps:

1)��������� Setting the relevance and applicability (R) of each circularity indicator for the ICT goods at hand.

2)��������� Assessing the margin of improvement (MI) of each circularity indicator.

3)��������� Calculating the circularity score (score) from 0 to 100% for the ICT good at hand for all three circularity aspects. This includes:

����� Using a predefined value matrix to identify the % score from 0 to 100 for each combination of R�MI.

����� Calculating the average of the included circularity indicators for the ICT good at hand separately for all three circularity aspects: product durability, ability to recycle, repair, reuse, and ability to upgrade from equipment and manufacturer level.
