unlocking the future: CTF - Battery Passport Edition

In the dynamic landscape of sustainability, mark your calendars for June 6th as the CircularTech Forum presents the groundbreaking Battery Passport Edition – a pivotal event set to revolutionize the realm of digitalization, the technical aspects of digital product passports in general, and the battery technology’s circularity in particular. At the core of this monumental leap lie the EU Battery Regulation and Ecodesign for Sustainable Product Regulation (ESPR) as cornerstones of the EU Green deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan. Mandating the creation of a comprehensive Battery Passport by 2027 and in other product segments by 2028, these regulations reshape how we perceive and manage product (circularity) design, labeling, and performance. With its enforcement in August 2023, the Battery Regulation it not only a frontrunner that sets stringent rules but also champions supply and transparency. It will cast its influence on every industrial and electric vehicle battery entering the EU market with a capacity exceeding 2 kWh. This heralds a transformative shift in how batteries are conceptualized, produced, and managed as waste and how the data should be managed along the lifecycle of the each battery. Under the battery regulation, responsibility falls on market players to ensure social and environmental risk mitigation across their supply chains, from sourcing critical materials to updating data in the Battery Passport. By 2025, vital information like product carbon footprint must be publicly accessible in a Digital Battery Passport, fostering transparency and accountability. Other industries that are regulated under ESPR, such as textiles, buildings, detergents, chemicals, bed mattresses, cosmetics, furniture, lubricants, paints, toys, tires, aluminium, glass, iron and steel, paper products, plastics and non-ferrous metals can learn from the battery case and thus are also invited to join the Circular Tech Forum in June.

Building the Digital Product Passport Community, we provide a space for stakeholders to connect and share insights, CircularTech addresses challenges and propels the widespread adoption of Digital Product Passports. 

On 6th June 2024, stakeholders will usher and meet together discussing how transparency, traceability, and sustainability in the battery industry will contributing to the larger goal of a circular economy.

Yet, with great change comes the need for seamless collaboration and trust. Collaborative innovation is key to battery passport development, necessitating close cooperation among stakeholders involved in battery creation, use, and recovery. This collaborative effort involves aligning collected data and give transparency and provide an environment for the creation, operation, and collaborative use of data chains along the value chain. 

The CircularTech Forum serves as a pivotal platform that bridges this gap, providing a nexus for stakeholders to exchange and foster innovation. From addressing data asymmetry, the lack of standardized frameworks to shaping collaborative business models, the Forum cultivates a DPP ecosystem where innovation, collaboration, and sustainability intersect. 

Amidst discussions on initiatives like Catena X and the broader digital landscape, the CircularTech propels the adoption of Digital Product Passport, shaping the future of battery technology and contributing to a circular economy.
