🤔 Do we really know why we need product passports? In our new episode, Susanne Kadner from CIRCULAR REPUBLIC, Caroline Cassignol Dr. from Siemens, Pascal Köhler from ebm-papst neo, and Tilmann Vahle from Quantis explore how data can move beyond reporting requirements to become a driver of innovation, competitiveness, and business model transformation in the circular economy. These are some of the key points raised: 🔒 Data sharing depends on trust and clear rules for what information is shared, with whom, and through which systems ♻️ Product passports can enable product-as-a-service models where ownership stays with manufacturers and products can be reused and upgraded throughout their lifetime 📑 EU regulation will position product passports as a central tool for product information, creating one digital container across industries This episode was recorded at the CIRCULAR REPUBLIC FESTIVAL 2025 and is part of our series in partnership with CIRCULAR REPUBLIC. 🎧 Full episode available on the Circularity.fm website, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.
