The different options for end-of-life scenarios should be envisioned during the design stage. Circular business models are necessary to support these different end-of-life scenarios.

Below a list of published standards and standards in development (end-of-life) for supporting end-of-life scenarios and circular business models:

• ISO/DIS 8887-2 Technical product documentation — Design for manufacturing, assembling, disassembling and end-of-life processing — Part 2: Vocabulary (under development)
• ISO 8887-1:2017 Technical product documentation — Design for manufacturing, assembling, disassembling and end-of-life processing — Part 1: General concepts and requirements
• prEN ISO/AWI 8887-3 Technical product documentation — Design for manufacturing, assembling, disassembling and end-of-life processing — Part 3: Selection of an appropriate end-of-life design strategy
• WI 00248731 Circular Textiles Chain – Requirements and categories (CEN/TS).
