The CircularTech Forum 2024: The Battery Passport Edition With the Digital Product Passport (DPP) set for compulsory adaption as of February 2027, all product information, from material sourcing through to end-of-cycle recycling, has to be accessible and transparent. The DPP will be affixed to products (as a NFC chip, QR code, or RFID tag) so that any actor along the chain, be it a manufacturer, retailer, or consumer can easily access it. The Digital Product Passport can be a strong lever for the Circular Economy, in that the type and scope of information it features can enable key processes such as repairing, remanufacturing, or recycling of products. To support a dialogue between main stakeholders in the Circular Economy world and different Digital Product Passport initiatives in several product value chains, the CircularTech Forum invites relevant actors to join the discussion on 16 September 2024 in Cologne, Germany. The forum provides a platform for international discussions on Digital Product Passports in key value chains such as electric vehicle batteries, electronics/Information and Communication Technology, textiles, cosmetics, construction, steel, cleaning agents, and others. “This year, the forum delves into the topic of intersectoral Digital Product Passports, drawing insights from the Battery Passport, which serves as the blueprint for DPPs in other regulated industries. Through this event we aim to bring the EU DPP ecosystem together, revolutionising the realm of digitalisation in the Circular Economy.”, says Elliana Jensen-Abieva, founder of the CircularTech Forum. As last year, the CSCP is a partner of the CircularTech Forum 2024, joining hands with key actors to accelerate the implementation of digitalisation processes that will shape the future of the Circular Economy.
