Spherity Podcast
Welcome to our Sphere! Spherity is building decentralized identity-management solutions to power the 4th Industrial Revolution, bringing secure identities (“Digital Twins”) to humans, companies, products, or machines. This podcast season provides an overview of the “New EU Battery Regulation” and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) which requires that all batteries need a digital product passport by 01.01.2026 followed by other product categories, such as textiles, buildings, and electronics. Spherity’s podcast season features interviews with people who have influenced the legislation or contributed to the success of the digital product passport. It deals with how companies can achieve compliance with Spherity’s Digital Product Passport technology. Several aspects of the digital product passport will be discussed, including its environmental and business impact, its history, and the future that our experts predict. Listen to the discussion with industry-, standardization, and research experts as well as the European Commission, moderated by our Chief Innovation & Solutions Officer, Dr. Susanne Guth-Orlowski.Don’t miss the next episode by following us on LinkedIn and Twitter at @spherity
