DPP – CircThread Digital Circular Economy Conference

CircThread Conference logo

Today product information is shared mainly for sales purposes when a product is sold, with sharing between manufacturers, retailers and other sales entities. Digital Product Passports (DPPs) will provide a key tool to transform and provide product information sharing between manufacturers, other economic operators, and consumers, across supply chains and the product life cycle, for sustainability, circular economy, and economic efficiency purposes.

Unlocking product information with DPP

The Digital Circular Economy Conference – organized by CircThread on May 8, 2025 in Brussels – will focus on how the sharing of product information can be transformed in the future, enable automation to reduce costs of manual data sharing, provide data access to other economic operators, and enable significant sustainability and circularity use cases using DPPs benefitting the economy. Use cases will be presented across different sectors including consumer electronics, construction and textiles, among others. The event provides a vision of the future of data sharing ecosystems using DPPs.
