Circularise

What are public digital product passports? Public digital product passports (pDPPs) unlock essential product data for those outside traditional value chains, such as recyclers, regulators, and consumers. Circularise platform creates mobile-friendly web pages from complex DPP information, the contents of which are controlled by the client 🔑 These public passports serve as a vital tool. They empower consumers with easy QR code access to a product's sustainable journey, aligning with regulatory standards. For recyclers and end-of-life (EoL) operators, pDPPs deliver detailed insights for improved material recovery and informed recycling strategies. Circularise developed 3 pDPPs as part of the CIRCULAR FOAM Project. Experience the pDPPs firsthand and scan QR codes below and explore the intersection of transparency and sustainability 👇

Major milestone in the PU Foam Recycling with Digital Product Passports 🚀 Thrilled to share our advancements in the CIRCULAR FOAM Project. We're uniting with giants — Covestro, Kingspan Group, Electrolux Group, Unilin, and others across Europe — to tackle one of the toughest recycling challenges. What's happening? We're diving deep into recycling rigid polyurethane foam, widely used in our homes and industries. Our collective aim? To reshape the material’s lifecycle: 1) Prevent 1M tons of waste by 2040. 2) Cut CO2 emissions by 2.9M tons. 3) Save €150M in burning costs. What's our key innovation? The creation of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) for Electrolux refrigerator doors, Unilin insulation boards, and Kingspan metal panels. By capturing crucial data about product components, we're providing recyclers and consumers with easy but comprehensive insights. Let's celebrate this milestone in promoting a more transparent world of recycling with #CircularFoam! Find our more in the comments 👇

Circularise had the pleasure to host the Compass Horizon EU consortium meeting 🤝 Over the two days, the project partners have gathered to review the progress and discuss the next steps of the initiative. The meeting at the Circularise office in the Hague brought together 23 people from multiple partner organisations. The participants shared status updates on use cases for remanufacturing of composite and metal sheet parts, key insights on the digital product passports and explored pathways to identify the business potential of project’s innovations. A heartfelt thanks to everyone involved for making this assembly a reality 🙌 AIRCRAFT END-OF-LIFE SOLUTIONS (AELS) B.V., AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, Aitiip Centro Tecnológico, EDAG Group, FACC AG, LKR Leichtmetallkompetenzzentrum Ranshofen, MARK Metallwarenfabrik GmbH, NSBproject, NLR - Netherlands Aerospace Centre, PROFACTOR, voestalpine.

🐟 Circularise & ScaleAQ: first-ever aquaculture digital product passport! Transforming fish farming, we've netted a win with ScaleAQ, a Norwegian innovator producing hardware and software in aquaculture technology, through the innovative SirkAQ project. With each of the 36,239 fish farms in Europe containing 360,000 tons of plastic, the industry's plastic waste footprint is substantial. Norway alone generates 25,000 tons of plastic waste annually. The SirkAQ pilot aims to revolutionise this norm, presenting a scalable model of sustainability. The digital product passport for ScaleAQ's Vortex pen has made it possible to track almost 20 different components, illuminating the supply chain and proving the viability of a sustainable model. Product traceability platforms like Circularise provide the crucial tools for this endeavor, enabling closed-loop systems. We are demonstrating that fish farming pens’ plastics can be more than just recycled; they can be reused in their original capacity, promoting a closed-loop system, and are now traceable, recycle-ready, and reusable without the compromise of downcycling 🔄 In collaboration with Hallingplast AS, ScaleAQ, Oceanize, and Sinkaberg, this venture reimagines plastic's lifecycle in aquaculture. This case proves that, with the right tools, companies are ready to navigate the necessary policy shifts that lie ahead.

Sustainability is no longer optional❗ The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (#ESPR) exemplifies a shift from an era of voluntary compliance to an era of mandatory compliance. ESPR targets a wide array of products circulating within the EU market, such as textiles, tyres, furniture, paints, chemicals and more. Under ESPR's umbrella, compliant products enjoy unfettered access across EU markets, superseding individual countries' sustainability standards. It’s a green light across EU nations as long as products meet ESPR requirements. The regulation refines product sustainability, focusing on durability, reusability, recyclability and more. The ESPR also mandates a digital product passport for all products in the EU market. This DPP will hold essential information, ensuring compliance and transparency. 👩💻 Join our ESPR webinar tomorrow led by Živa Buzeti, to learn about: 1) Scope of ESPR Compliance 2) Digital Product Passports (DPPs) 3) Product Requirements & Disposal Rules 4) Opportunities for multinational companies 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/guW3dn7W

Philips recently won the CSRD Award 2024 🙌 Philips has been recognised for its sustainable reporting, fully aligned with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This award highlights their leadership in transparency and sets a great example for other companies preparing to comply with the upcoming regulations. The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive is an EU regulation requiring companies to report on their environmental, social, and governance impacts using a double materiality framework. Taking effect in 2025, CSRD aims to foster transparency, helping investors and stakeholders gain a holistic view of a company’s performance. To meet these requirements, companies need robust tools to track and report sustainability data across complex supply chains. Traceability software is essential for collecting granular information, identifying risks, and ensuring compliance with CSRD. Learn more about CSRD and how to comply here: https://loom.ly/NpGbieE
