Join CIRPASS-2 at CircularTech Forum (Battery Passport Edition), 16 Sept 2024.

CIRPASS-2 is excited to announce our partnership with CircularTech, inviting you to the CircularTech Forum on 16 September 2024, in Cologne, Germany. This year’s edition will feature the Battery Passport Edition, aimed at bringing together the EU DPP ecosystem to advance the digitalization in the Circular Economy.

The event will explore the topic of inter-sectoral Digital Product Passports (DPPs), using the Battery Passport as a blueprint for DPPs in other regulated industries. The forum will also ignite discussions through panel sessions on the technical, legal, and financial aspects of DPPs.

Join the event to hear CIRPASS-2 Project Carolynn Bernier speak, as one of the the  forum’s panelist!

CIRPASS-2 Project Coordinator Carolynn Bernier will participate in Panel #2: “From Textiles to Buildings: Navigating DPP Regulations Across Industries.” She will be joined by other industry experts and solution providers who will share their experiences, challenges, and strategies for complying with the DPP requirements and regulations of the recently published EU Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR).

Join the panel to:

  • Explore how ESPR-regulated sectors, like textiles, steel, and cosmetics, are preparing for the upcoming DPP
  • Learn how industries handle data standardization, verification, and business confidentiality challenges.
  • Gain insights into regulatory compliance, sector-specific approaches, and best practices for structuring and implementing DPP.

What is CircularTech?

The CircularTech is the international platform and Digital Product Passport (DPP) Community, that aims to connect and spark the global level dialog between the main stakeholders in the Circular Economy world with different Digital solutions and  DPPs initiatives in several key product value chains – EV Batteries, Textiles, Furniture, Cosmetics, Detergents and Constructions and other industries that are regulated under ESPR – to assemble the Digital Product Passport “Puzzle”. 

The CircularTech community organizes and manages several specific clusters focused on the DPP topic to foster connectivity and alignment within the global DPP ecosystem. Their mission is to bridge the gap between the Circular Economy and Digitalization, exploring the latest  advancements and challenges in fostering these topics in these areas through our platform.
