What manufacturers need to know about ESPR, LCA and the systems behind a credible Digital Product Passport

Digital Product Passports are moving closer to implementation. Textiles are among the priority product groups under the ESPR, and key standards and registry arrangements are taking shape. While final product-specific requirements are still being developed, manufacturers can already assess whether their data, processes and systems are ready.

The hard part is not creating the passport itself. It is finding, validating, connecting and continuously updating the product, material, supply-chain and environmental data behind it.

In this on-demand webinar, Sphera experts and Klopman International explore the questions manufacturers need to address now:

  • What is already known about the ESPR—and what remains undecided?
  • Which product, supplier and environmental data should companies begin identifying and organizing?
  • Why is LCA becoming increasingly important to credible product-level environmental information?
  • How can companies scale LCA beyond individual products?
  • How can data, processes, software and automation work together to support DPP readiness?

Watch the webinar to identify what your organization can start preparing now—and what can wait until product-specific requirements become clearer.
