Digital Product Passport Insights - A 4TheRecord Podcast
This podcast season provides insights into the regulation, standardization, technical implementation, and industry adoption of digital product passports. Starting from early 2024, digital product passports will become mandatory in the European Union across various end consumer product segments such as batteries, textiles, buildings, detergents, furniture, paints, toys, tires, mattresses, and cosmetics. Additionally, intermediate products such as aluminum, chemicals, glass, iron and steel, paper, plastics, and non-ferrous metal products are regulated to enable better reuse, repair, and recycling of these materials.
Join the discussion with experts from industry, NGOs, standardization bodies, and government agencies, moderated by the founder of 4TheRecord.io, Dr. Susanne Guth-Orlowski.
