PASSAT<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

In February 2025, the bilateral flagship project PASSAT – Digital Product Passport Austria & Beyond –<\/a> was launched for the Digital Product Passport (DPP). With 21 partners from industry, research, and networks, the project aims to develop practical solutions for the introduction of the DPP in Austria and to support companies in their transition towards circular economy and sustainable production.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Plattform Industrie 4.0 leads the communication and dissemination activities in the project and is committed to a wide networking of relevant stakeholders.<\/p>\n

The Digital Product Passport as the foundation for sustainable value chains<\/h2>\n

The DPP is a central element of the new Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) and is designed to facilitate access to product-related data throughout the entire lifecycle of a product. It aims to increase transparency about materials, production processes, and recycling possibilities, supporting companies in implementing resource-efficient and circular business models. More about the DPP can be found on our overview page.<\/a><\/p>\n

PASSAT aims to develop initial practical DPP prototypes in the reference sectors of textiles and electronics, as well as examine the transferability to the ski industry. Various aspects of sustainability and different technological solutions, such as digital product labeling and data-space approaches, will be tested.<\/p>\n
