摘要

The convergence of Industry 5.0 and circular economy (CE) is presented as a crucial opportunity to redesign manufacturing systems that are technologically advanced and human-centric, i.e., empowering employees through digital transformations. Progress toward this goal, however, has been impeded by fragmented terminology, inconsistent metrics, the absence of a standardized reference architecture and implementation protocols. This paper advocates the applications of ISO 59000 family standards to be adopted as the primary reference architecture protocols for integrating CE practices into Industry 5.0 ecosystems. Through theoretical modelling and critical appraisal of standards and literature, the need for precise CE definitions, identification of implementation constraints, and harmonised measurement approaches are demonstrated based on the conceptualization of a reference architecture. The architecture proposed is intended to guide manufacturers in embedding circularity alongside workforce empowerment, resilience, and interoperable value chains for Industry 5.0 work systems. By aligning policy instruments, technological capacity, and human-capital development, ISO 59000 series is presented as transformable from a set of norms into a strategic enabler of scalable, verifiable, and sustainable global industrial transformation.
