The challenge
Circular value depends on information surviving the first sale.
Repairers, owners, refurbishers, recyclers, and producers need different information at different moments. CommonShare connects lifecycle status and audience views to the original product, material, supplier, evidence, and impact record.
Product workflow in practice
Build a product record that can move beyond first use.
Start with composition and intended life, then keep repair, reuse, recovery, and evidence connected as the product changes.

Model circular potential
Connect components, materials, recycled content, durability, disassembly, repair, spare parts, and intended recovery pathways.
- Input
- Mapping, Evidence, Calculations
- Decision or control
- Runs within the configured workflow boundary.
- Handoff
- Collect lifecycle evidence · Suppliers and service partners
- Model circular potentialProduct and circularity
The circular products decision remains connected to its source records, evidence, lifecycle status, approvals, and intended downstream use.
Connected evidence model
Keep material value and lifecycle status visible.
Every object remains connected to the people, evidence, versions, and decisions that give it meaning.

- 02Recycled content and source evidence
- 03Durability, repair, disassembly, and spare parts
- 04Owners, service partners, and lifecycle status
- 05Inspection, repair, reuse, refurbishment, and recovery events
- 06Impact calculations, passports, instructions, and approvals
Connected capabilities
Configure one platform around the work.
Bring the right capabilities into one accountable flow.
Multi-tier network mapping
Connect products, components, materials, service partners, ownership, lifecycle events, and recovery pathways across tiers.
Supplier collaboration
Request specifications, repair information, certificates, impact data, and recovery instructions from accountable contributors.
Evidence governance
Extract, version, approve, and preserve lifecycle evidence, service records, instructions, and review history with a reviewable audit trail.
Risk screening and alerts
Assess lifecycle status, repair and recovery pathways, evidence gaps, and configuration changes in their product context.
Cases and decision workflows
Route inspection, repair, refurbishment, repurposing, take-back, recycling, approvals, and exceptions to accountable teams.
Impact calculations
Keep material choices, recycled content, lifecycle scenarios, inputs, results, and review evidence connected by version.
Lifecycle passports
Publish controlled lifecycle views and instructions for owners, repairers, resellers, recyclers, authorities, and internal teams.
Supported lifecycle outputs
Reuse governed lifecycle records, evidence, approvals, and outcomes in service, resale, recovery, and compliance workflows.
Commons Architecture
The shared foundation beneath the workflow.
Architecture keeps identity, data exchange, claims, permissions, automation, and human accountability coherent across organizations.
Where it applies
See the workflow in industry context.
Furniture & Home Furnishings
Connect materials, durability, repair, disassembly, resale, and recovery pathways.
Consumer Electronics & ICT
Coordinate component, repair, spare-part, substance, and recycler information.
Requirements and methods
Connect evidence to the right pathway.
ESPR
Product-specific measures may define durability, repairability, recycled-content, and DPP information.
EU Batteries
Connect battery identity and lifecycle status to repurposing, remanufacturing, and recycling records.
PPWR
Coordinate packaging reuse, recyclability, recycled content, labeling, and producer records by measure.
Repairability, reuse, recycled content, recovery, and environmental performance depend on defined criteria and evidence. CommonShare connects the record while responsible teams approve claims and decisions.
Frequently asked
Circular Products, made clear.
Practical answers about scope, workflow, evidence, and accountable decisions.
Yes. Role-based records can connect lifecycle status, service, repair, ownership, refurbishment, or recovery events to the persistent product identity.
