Private-Public Bottom-Up Definition of Digital Product Passport: 18th November
We are arranging an online workshop addressing the concept and practice of Digital Product Passports (DPPs). The European Commission has submitted a proposal stating that all regulated products within the proposal for Ecodesign for Sustainable Products
Regulation will have DPPs, providing customers with product information[1]. The proposal for a new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation is described by the Commission to be a “cornerstone” to create sustainable and circular products[2].
A Digital Product Passport is, however, not a well-defined concept, but in need of a common understanding and definition of what it entails and how the development should proceed, and we see a need of bringing stakeholders with different perspectives together to discuss barriers, demands, and opportunities with DPPs. We have therefore invited keynote speakers who work with DPPs, either with policy or with the technical development of these within different sectors.
By this workshop we wish to at an early stage involve and inform regional stakeholders of the development of the system of DPPs to both strengthen their knowledge about the concept, and to create an opportunity for businesses and regional representatives to begin to jointly design policies that fit the actual needs as expressed by businesses.
Some insights from past Policy Labs
The Policy Lab was first developed within the H2020 SCREEN project in 2017, and promoted a dialogue between regions and stakeholders, assisting in validating methods developed within the SCREEN project for circular solutions. The Policy Lab structure was then used in the Interreg REPLACE project , as well as the H2020 DigiPrime project, to enable regions to communicate, exchange knowledge and innovation capabilities, and create collaborative synergies to facilitate the transition to Circular Economy. Over the past year, Veltha has received input from 60 European regions on issues regarding Circular Economy, creating a more diverse and inclusive base for policy making.
Join us at this event by registering here! The workshop will be an online event, and a link will be shared with you via email before the event.
