Digital product passports form the data basis for a sustainable circular economy. They allow products to be tracked along the entire supply chain. The COPPA project is currently developing a platform for a digital product passport for food. And d<\/strong>he St. P\u00f6lten University of Applied Sciences is researching in a series of projects how digital product passports can be implemented and what sustainability effects they have. <\/b><\/p>\n

Digitalisation and transparent product passports can make a decisive contribution to the safe use of recycled plastics in the food packaging sector. This is where the COPPA project, in which the SKZ Plastics Centre is also involved, comes in. Together with six partners, the W\u00fcrzburg-based institute is developing a digital platform that enables Presentation of the material composition of a product and the origin of the materials<\/strong> is possible. An additional direct calculation of the CO2 footprint is also possible.<\/p>\n

\u201eThe aim of the COPPA project is to contribute to the development of an open Circular Collaboration Platform (CPP) so that secondary materials for and from food packaging can be reused safely and in line with requirements, the carbon footprint can be automatically output and the recycled content of the packaging can be technically validated.\u201c Sophia Botsch<\/strong>, Scientist at the SKZ<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Digital product passports in practice<\/h2>\n

The St. P\u00f6lten University of Applied Sciences is also conducting research in a number of projects, how digital product passports can be implemented<\/strong> and what sustainability effects they have. The projects are dedicated to the areas of plastics, electronics and food.<\/p>

Digital product passports allow a wide variety of products to be tracked along the entire supply chain<\/strong> are made. This leads to greater product safety, makes production more efficient and reduces environmental impact. In their Research projects<\/a> St. P\u00f6lten University of Applied Sciences is therefore investigating how digital product passports can be put into practice and contribute to greater sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201eThe effective integration and management of environmental data on raw materials, composition and manufacturing of products is a basic prerequisite for establishing a circular economy and business models inspired by it.\u201c<\/p>\n

Better recycling of plastic <\/b><\/h2>\n

In the \u201eDPP4ALL\u201c research project, which has already been completed, the Institute for Innovation Systems at the St. P\u00f6lten UAS has analysed the Technical, legal and organisational implications of a digital product passport<\/strong> for plastics manufacturing and processing companies.<\/p>
