“CIRPASS – Shaping the future of the Digital Product Passport”, will bring together European industries, policymakers, R&D centres, standardisation organisations, circular economy and sustainability consultancies, digital solution providers and more, to discuss the future development of the Digital Product Passport (DPP).

The online live event takes place on Tuesday, 13 December between 10h30-12h30 CET, and will count with representatives of the CIRPASS – Digital Product Passport consortium to present to the public the project’s objectives and planned stakeholder engagement activities, as well as host an interactive panel discussion followed by Q&As.
