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.
