Hvad er Digital Product Passport?

Electric vehicles are the future of a sustainable world. But batteries have a high environmental impact when not properly managed throughout their life cycles. Therefore, the EU has decided to introduce legislation on the Digital Product Passport for electric vehicle batteries and industrial batteries. For the battery passport to succeed, - stakeholders across the supply chain must contribute their data. This data will then be stored, - creating a digital twin of the battery. A unique identifier assigned to the battery enables data to be collected at installation, throughout its life cycle and beyond. When the car nears its end of life, - it doesn't mean the end of life for the battery. It will either be reused or broken down and recycled in the production of a new battery. Thus minimizing the need for new raw materials and, - over time, - decreasing carbon footprint. In order for the data collected to be usable by industry, - regulators and consumers, - a common language is required. Serialized GS1 identifiers and 2D data carriers enable companies to uniquely identify and trace physical objects and link information to them. Stakeholders across the supply chain can access relevant data, - enabling upstream and downstream traceability. GS1 is a natural fit as one of the partners for the global battery alliance and the regulators. Helping to realise the vision of a battery passport for electric vehicle batteries. Creating a digital twin of a battery - with GS1 global standards - will bring us closer to the EU's goal of being a climate-neutral region by 2050.
