The first stop on the journey is the battery – remember the passport

From 2027, batteries will be the first product covered by the Digital Product Passport (DPP).

The complex composition of batteries and the explosive growth in demand challenge both supply security and sustainability. Read how DPP can play a crucial role in promoting recycling and ensuring better resource utilization.

With the DPP as a new requirement for batteries, the goal is to create transparency, boost recycling, and address supply chain challenges in a rapidly growing industry.

The composition and challenges of batteries
Batteries - especially lithium-ion batteries - are essential to modern technologies such as electric vehicles and portable devices. They are composed of critical raw materials like cobalt, lithium, nickel, and graphite, all of which require extensive mining and processing. Global demand for batteries is expected to increase 14-fold by 2030, threatening to exceed both production capacity and the availability of raw materials.

Supply issues and sustainability
The surge in battery demand is further strained by the difficulty of extracting raw materials quickly - and in environmentally responsible ways. These materials are not only scarce and expensive but also environmentally damaging to mine. That’s why recycling is no longer optional - it’s essential. Without effective recycling strategies, the industry risks creating massive waste streams and losing valuable resources, all while increasing its carbon footprint.

DPP’s role in sustainable battery management
The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is being introduced as a solution to many of these challenges. With the DPP, detailed information about a battery’s origin, composition, and recycling potential becomes accessible to all stakeholders across the value chain. This level of transparency enables more efficient resource management and greatly improves the ability to recover and reuse materials. With reliable DPP data, companies can ensure regulatory compliance,reduce waste, and actively support the transition to a circular economy.

Recycling and future-proofing
Consumers and companies have long been encouraged to return used batteries for recycling. With the DPP, this process becomes far more effective. Every battery will carry detailed, scannable information about its materials and recycling options. Over time, this will help ensure greater supplychain resilience and reduce dependency on mining - benefiting both the environment and the economy.

Batteries mark the beginning of the journey toward implementing the Digital Product Passport. By promoting transparency, recycling, and sustainability, DPP will be an essential tool for addressing the growing challenges in the battery industry and contributing to a greener future.

Consumer collaboration, waste management, and data security with DPP in electronics

DPP skaber muligheder for forbrugersamarbejde, affaldshåndtering og datasikkerhed.

How can DPP help electronics manufacturers reduce waste, improve data security, and engage consumers in making more responsible choices?

Consumer collaboration: DPP as a bridge between producers and consumers

DPP gives consumers insight into a product’s lifecycle, from the origin of materials to how the product is best maintained and repaired. This promotes a consumer-centered approach, where customers are encouraged to take more responsibility for extending the lifespan of products. Consumers can use DPP to understand how they can repair or recycle their electronic devices, reducing the need for frequent replacements. By providing detailed information on maintenance and repair, DPP helps build a stronger relationship between consumer and producer, where both work towards a sustainable future.

Electronic waste: How DPP can solve the e-waste problem

Electronic waste is a growing global problem. DPP can play an important role in reducing e-waste by ensuring that products are designed with recycling in mind. By offering information on how components can be disassembled and recycled, DPP helps manufacturers improve electronics production and integrate waste management into the design process. This promotes a circular economy, where materials from old products can be reused for new ones, reducing both waste and the need for new raw materials.

Data security and privacy: A challenge in the digital age

While DPP opens up new opportunities with technologies like IoT and AI, it also brings security challenges. Data collected through DPP must be protected to ensure the privacy of both products and consumers. With the integration of real-time data, there is a risk of misuse of personal information if data security is not prioritized. Manufacturers must focus on developing secure DPP solutions that protect the data being shared. They must also ensure that the systems comply with GDPR and other relevant data protection standards. This is part of the effort to improve electronics production and safeguard both consumers and manufacturers.

Det Digitale Produktpas giver store muligheder for elektronikindustrien. Ved at fremme forbrugersamarbejde, reducere e-affald og styrke datasikkerheden, kan det hjælpe producenter med at skabe en mere bæredygtig fremtid. Det åbner op for mere ansvarlige valg for forbrugerne, som får indsigt i produkternes livscyklus. Sammen kan vi opbygge en grønnere og mere sikker elektronikindustri.

Bæredygtig elektronik: Hvordan det Digitale Produktpas skaber holdbare løsninger

Elektronik med en fremtid: Se, hvordan DPP kan forlænge levetiden på de elektroniske produkter og reducere affald.

Let’s dive into how the Digital Product Passport can create a more sustainable electronics industry

DPP som drivkraft for bæredygtig elektronik
Elektronikindustrien står over for en betydelig transformation med indførelsen af Det Digitale Produktpas (DPP). DPP fremmer gennemsigtighed og sporbarhed gennem hele produktets livscyklus, fra udvinding af råmaterialer til genanvendelse ved slutningen af levetiden. Disse data giver producenterne mulighed for at udvikle produkter med længere levetid og lavere miljøpåvirkning, samtidig med at de støtter bedre livscyklushåndtering og bæredygtighed.

Teknologisk integration og længere produktlevetid
DPP kombineret med teknologier som IoT og kunstig intelligens gør det muligt for producenter at overvåge produktets ydeevne i realtid og identificere problemer, før de opstår. Dette skaber grundlaget for forebyggende vedligeholdelse og reducerer behovet for tidlige udskiftninger. Samtidig giver DPP forbrugerne adgang til vedligeholdelses- og reparationsdata, der fremmer en kultur, hvor reparation prioriteres frem for kassation.

Effektiv ressourcehåndtering og cirkulær økonomi
DPP optimerer ressourceudnyttelsen ved at levere detaljerede oplysninger om materialernes oprindelse og genanvendelighed. Producenter kan minimere affald og øge genbrugsgraden, hvilket understøtter overgangen til en cirkulær økonomi. Gennem dataanalyse kan ineffektive processer i værdikæden identificeres og forbedres, hvilket både reducerer miljøpåvirkningen og sænker omkostningerne for industrien.

Dette viser, hvordan det Digitale Produktpas kan hjælpe elektronikindustrien med at forlænge produkternes levetid, fremme innovation gennem avanceret teknologiintegration og samtidig understøtte en bæredygtig og effektiv værdikæde. Ved at udnytte de muligheder, som DPP tilbyder, kan elektronikproducenter skabe produkter, der ikke kun er bæredygtige, men også mere holdbare og tilpassede fremtidens cirkulære økonomi og efterspørgsel.
