Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design TechnologyPreparing for Digital Product Passports in an evolving market landscape
The industry is undergoing changes, with new product concepts, business models, and competitors rapidly transforming the market. At the same time, regulatory requirements are increasing. One example is the Ecodesign Regulation for Sustainable Products (ESPR). This requires the establishment of Digital Product Passports (DPP) to provide key information about products and their environmental impact throughout their entire life cycle.
The DPP will thus become the key enabler to digital consistency of sustainability and product data, as well as the basis for new value creation models, e.g. circular products, service offerings, and automated reporting. Companies face the challenge of implementing legal requirements, such as the Battery Regulation (effective in 2027), and preparing flexibly for other product groups, such as steel and aluminum.
In this webinar, we will demonstrate how companies can prepare for the DPP from strategic, organizational, and technological perspectives and explain why the DPP is not just a compliance issue but also a gateway to future-proof business models.
Our topics:
- What are the key challenges in implementing DPPs?
- Where does my company stand in terms of the availability and quality of relevant product data?
- What technical and organizational requirements need to be met, and which implementation strategies make sense for my company?
