The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is coming. But what does this mean for your business? What product information will you need to record, what data do you already have available, and what will this require in terms of collaboration with supply chain partners? On Monday, December 7, NOM, together with Noord-Nederland Verdient Circulair (NNVC) and partners, is organizing a practical workshop at Whisper Power in Drachten.
During this interactive session, industrial entrepreneurs will gain insight into developments surrounding the Digital Product Passport. Through real-world examples, laws and regulations, and the experiences of other entrepreneurs, you’ll discover what the DPP means for your business and how you can prepare for it.
What can you expect?
During the event, various experts will share their knowledge and experiences:
- Frank Drijfhout (TNO) will demonstrate how to strategically implement the DPP and the benefits it can offer.
- Ronald Linger (Hanze University of Applied Sciences) provides insight into current and new laws and regulations surrounding the DPP.
- Hylke Veenstra (Whisper Power) shares practical experiences with the DPP process.
In addition, during an interactive workshop, you’ll discuss challenges, opportunities, and possible next steps with fellow entrepreneurs.
