Proposal(s) title:
  • An information model for digital product passport information on sustainability and circularity
Proposal(s) topic:

Circular Economy including Digital Product Passport

Impact on SMEs:

Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)
It is particularly important that European SMEs find DPPs a way to communicate the sustainability advantages of their products better and that producing a DPP, and digitalising product information becomes an advantage and not an additional obstacle to SMEs. One of the advantages of ITU and ETSI over other standards development organisations is that these standards will be free and more accessible for SMEs.

Impact on society:

Impact on society:

Impact on society (5th Open Call)
The resulting standard element from this work will support legislative initiatives in the EU for implementing the digital product passport for ICT products in Europe and globally. This work focuses on environmental information for ICT products, and is complementary to other digital standards about the DPP in Europe and globally. Also, this a relevant standard for any size organisation that produces or modifies ICT products that are part, involved in any stage, of the circular economy


Value of Research

Within my WG, we address the gap in the link between digitisation and environmental sustainability, and particularly of products and services. Specifically, digital devices and related elements ranging from materials to e-waste are a significant part of our environmental problem.
