What we will discuss: The European Union is already shaping new market rules with a focus on full product traceability throughout the entire lifecycle. One of the key instruments is the Digital Product Passport (DPP), which will define approaches to the production, operation, and recycling of products, including solar panels.
During the webinar, we will cover:
- why product traceability is becoming a key priority in the EU
- the concept of the Digital Product Passport: what it is and what data it includes
- EU policy and legislation: the role of the Ecodesign Regulation and Circular Economy Policy
- how the Digital Product Passport works: core principles and digital infrastructure
- current implementation examples: passports for batteries, electronics, and other products
- Digital Product Passport for solar panels: material traceability and support for PV recycling
- implications for Ukraine: the role of DPP in developing a circular PV industry and the regulatory framework for its implementation
- discussion and Q&A
Who should attend:
- solar power producers and developers
- companies working with BESS and energy equipment
- importers and distributors of PV products
- engineering and EPC companies
- legal, consulting, and regulatory professionals
- anyone operating or planning to operate in the EU market
Why join: Be among the first to understand how new EU rules on material traceability and product lifecycle management will impact your business, what requirements are coming soon, and how to prepare effectively – not just to adapt, but to turn these changes into a competitive advantage.
