Passport for a sustainable European electronics supply chain
A consortium is developing passport technology for sustainable supply chain for electronic equipment.
www.eenewseurope.com/, Jul. 19, 2023 –
The €2m CIRPASS project (Collaborative Standardization of a European Digital Product Passport for Stakeholder-Specific Sharing of Product Data for a Circular Economy) is developing a passport system for supply chain legislation that comes into force in 2026.
No final decision has yet been made about the range of information that will be contained in the product passports, but the European Commission introduced the idea of a standardised digital product passport for the upcoming legislation The aim is for the proposed passports, supported by EU regulations, to make all product information available along the entire value chain and easily accessible for example by QR code.
Eduard Wagner and his team at Fraunhofer IZM are currently surveying which types of information are already covered by current legal requirements and which additional information could be contained on a digital product passport. The aim is to provide an information architecture that determines which types of information have added value for which actors in the value chain and at what cost this information could be provided.
For example a reparability scale that shows how easily a product is to repair has been required in France since 2021 and might be a good inclusion in the digital, pan-European product passport.
