12、ORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying

13、technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups wh

14、ich, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO an

26、of the main ways forward. In this context, CE combined with information and telecommunication technologies (ICTs) could enable decoupling of economic growth and environmental impact b-Ellen. Due to the seemingly scattered understanding of the topic of CE and its main aspect resource efficiency (RE),

27、 it will be necessary to summarize and then standardize the manner in which CE and RE are quantified. In 2015, the European Commission issued Mandate 543 (M/543), Standardization Request with regard to ecodesign requirements on material efficiency aspects for energy-related products b-EU_M/543 reque

28、sting European standardization organisations to develop needed standards. ETSI EE accepted this mandate for ICT infrastructure goods. However, the present document was initiated before Mandate 543 and is not seen as an ETSI TC EE deliverable for Mandate 543. Nevertheless, the present document is exp

29、ected to provide valuable input for the Mandate 543 work. ITU-T SG5 (Q13/5) has made preliminary descriptions of RE for ICT goods b-ITU-T L.Suppl.5, which have been considered in the development of the present document which focuses more broadly on CE aspects for ICT infrastructure goods. Furthermor

30、e, the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-related Products (MEErP) report, as used in the framework of the Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC) b-Biointelligence, has been used as background information for materials efficiency aspects. This Supplement was developed jointly by ETSI TC EE and ITU-T Stu

31、dy Group 5 and published respectively by ITU and ETSI as Supplement ITU-T L.Suppl.28 and ETSI Technical Report ETSI TR 103 476, which are technically equivalent.

48、lar economy concepts Circular economy (CE) is a wide ranging concept which covers the full lifecycle of both goods and business models. In general CE is about closing the loop between different life cycles through design that enables greater recycling and reuse in order to use raw materials, goods a

49、nd waste in a more efficient way and to increase energy performance. Thus CE is associated with strategies to keep goods out of landfill and incineration b-Huysman. CE deals with both environmental and economic aspects. In an ideal CE, all waste generated would be reused as raw material in production processes. It is clear that discarded goods represent a valuable source of raw materials b-Mueller. However, in practice trade-offs have to be made with parameters such as re
