About this goal

A Future-Fit company does all it can to ensure that the physical goods it provides to others can be responsibly repurposed at the end of their useful lives.

These requirements cover both final products designed for end users, and intermediate goods which are incorporated or processed into final products by other companies.

To be Future-Fit, a company must do two things:

  1. It must ensure that whatever remains of the goods it supplies can be separated at the end of their useful life, to maximize their post-use recovery value; and
  2. It must ensure that its customers have ready access to recovery services capable of extracting such value.
