Expert Working Groups
Experts in relevant fields will interact with the CIRPASS-2 in Expert Working Groups (EWGs), whose goals are to enable two-way communication between the project and the expert stakeholder community, follow and provide feedback on the project developments, disseminate project results and enable a feedback loop among a wider community.
Expert Participants
Expert Working Group 1
Observatory Board: European and Global Regulatory Context
This group’s objective is the monitoring of DPP-related policies and regulations, European and beyond, as well as other regulatory developments that can affect DPP implementation and assessment (circularity measurements, sustainability, material safety).
Expert Working Group 2
Standardisation Liaisons
This group’s objective is to monitor and report on developments of the DPP standardisations activities from officially recognised standardisation organisations, as well as relevant standards from fora and other consortia to the CIRPASS-2 consortium with focus on the DPP system framework, to ensure interoperability of data structures, formats and protocols. EWG2 will support the project in the assessment and analysis of utilised standards to ensure interoperability between use cases/lighthouse projects.
Expert Working Group 3
Textile Stakeholders Group
This group’s objective is to bring in the textile industry’s insights including their value chains, supply chains, and product characteristics, to help with clarifying benefits and challenges in implementing DPPs in their sector, discovering and validating new business models, understanding the needs of SMEs in their sector and evolutions in consumer sustainable consumption. The group will also contribute to building the sector-specific ontologies.
Important:The information content of the upcoming delegated act for textiles will be shaped by the preparatory work of the JRC and especially the upcoming Ecodesign Forum which is being set up and run by the European Commission. Neither CIRPASS-2 nor EWG3 will therefore have any direct influence of its design. We will of course follow this work extremely closely and, if needed, support the Commission in their translation into machine readable representations. We will publish online digital tools to ease access and reuse of this representation as soon as possible. If and when needed, the collective opinions of EWG3 partners may be sought on specific topics (e.g. using surveys) to inform the Commission
Expert Working Group 4
Electronics Stakeholders Group
This group’s objective is to bring in the electronics industry’s insights including their value chains, supply chains, and product characteristics, to help with clarifying benefits and challenges in implementing DPPs in their sector, discovering and validating new business models, understanding the needs of SMEs in their sector and evolutions in consumer sustainable consumption. The group will also contribute to building the sector-specific ontologies.
Expert Working Group 5
Customisation and deployment of DPPs in other sectors
Customisation and deployment of DPPs in other sectors. This group’s objective is to explore the characteristics of other value chains and sectors and how they would affect the implementation of DPP, taking the experience and lessons learnt from Lighthouse Pilot implementations, but beyond.
