Circular economy (CE) is a development priority of the EU and a central component of the European Green Deal, which aims to achieve climate neutrality in the region by 2050. One of the main building blocks of the European Green Deal is the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan and the introduction of digital product passports (DPPs).

DPPs store key data to improve traceability of products and encourage eco-design and sustainability through standardizing information on a product’s reusability, reparability, upgradability etc. ITU within ITU-T SG5 “EMF, environment, climate action, sustainable digitalization and circular economy” together with ETSI Technical Committee on Environmental Engineering are working on an international standard on “Requirements for a global digital sustainable product passport to achieve a circular economy”.

The objective of this Workshop is to examine the overarching concept of DPP and the requirements of DPP that are geared towards circularity.

The Workshop will bring together manufacturers, operators, policymakers, and other relevant stakeholders, and provide the ideal opportunity to discuss the latest development of DPPs, including the information and attributes that they should contain, and the role of international standards in facilitating its integration.
