Is your organization ready for the EU’s Circular Economy revolution?

As the European Union pushes forward with the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), a key innovation will be the introduction of Digital Product Passports (DPPs).

These will fundamentally change how product information - from materials and manufacturing to repairability and disposal - is documented and shared across the value chain.

Whether you're in manufacturing, ICT, textiles, or the circular economy ecosystem, now is the time to understand what compliance means, what data needs to be collected, and how your organisation can turn regulation into opportunity.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

  • The origins and intent of the ESPR and the rationale behind the DPP initiative.
  • What the Digital Product Passport is and isn’t.
  • Key compliance checkpoints and standards guiding DPP implementation.
  • A preview of the supply chain data collection interface.
  • Managing compliance as a lifecycle.
  • How to get involved in standards development.
