July 09, 2024

This week on the Mr. Beacon podcast, we're delving deeper into the world of Digital Product Passports (DPPs), a groundbreaking development creating vast opportunities in the Internet of Things (IoT). Join us as we explore the European Union's new DPP legislation and its application to various product categories with our expert guest, Lauren Roman.

Lauren is the Chair of the NAATBatt (Advocate for Advanced Battery Technology in North America) Track and Trace Committee and Vice Chair of the Society of Automotive Engineers Battery Global Traceability Standards Committee. In this episode, she shares her insights on the impact of DPPs, especially in the automotive industry, and the significance of battery traceability for promoting a circular economy.

We'll discuss how DPPs empower both manufacturers and consumers by providing transparency on product origins, certifications, recycling, and repair information. Lauren also touches on the broader implications for other industries such as apparel, textiles, electronics, and construction materials.

Don't miss this fascinating conversation about the future of product traceability, sustainability, and how these advancements can drive positive change in our global supply chains.
