Digital Product Passport Hackathon
Are you ready to tackle one of the biggest challenges in the circular economy—accessing real-time, accurate product lifecycle data?
Digital Product Passports (DPPs) and digital services present key opportunities to unlock essential product information for better decision-making and circular outcomes.
The CircThread project is already paving the way with a cutting-edge platform that supports DPPs and a marketplace of new apps and web services, to enable smarter choices across the product lifecycle. After successful pilots with white appliance manufacturers, we’re expanding our focus and inviting forward-thinking SMEs, value chain operators, and sector experts from the Electrical & Electronic Equipment (EEE), Packaging, Construction, and Textiles industries to join our two-day hackathon.
Why join?
- The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), effective June 2024, mandates DPPs for all EU products, covering supply chains, environmental impact, material composition, and recyclability. Over two days, you'll explore DPPs and discuss adoption opportunities and challenges for your sector.
- Work with industry leaders and peers (including SMEs, consultants, repair professionals, recyclers and others) from your sector to co-create concepts for impactful and innovative apps and web services supported by our platform, API, and DPPs for circularity and compliance.
CircThread’s Hackathon
Participants are encouraged to bring their own teams and propose challenge opportunities, though this is optional. You can collaborate on a variety of challenges, including:
- EEE: Develop service prototypes to track maintenance histories, manage spare parts, or create repair ecosystems for electrical devices.
- Packaging: Create digital solution concepts for better material tracking and packaging lifecycle data for improved recyclability and reusability.
- Construction: Design services for material reuse, waste optimization, or lifecycle assessments of building materials.
- Textiles: Collaborate on digital solutions to boost textile circularity through improved reuse, repair, and recyclability with DPPs.
No coding skills required—just bring your expertise and ideas. Shape the future of data-driven, circular solutions. Register now!
