Product Passports for the Circular Economy

Overview

Fraunhofer Workshop Series:

Product Passports for the Circular Economy

18 November 2025 (Tue)⠀|⠀9:30am – 12:30pm SGT⠀|⠀32 Carpenter St, Singapore 059911

OVERVIEW

Join us for an engaging seminar on digital Product Passports, designed to illuminate the pivotal role of digital solutions in sustainable practices within circular economies, modern supply chains and manufacturing industries!

This seminar covers a range of important topics, from Lifecycle Engineering, Sustainability and Circular Economy essentials, to a comprehensive overview of Product Passport´s functions and requirements, while addressing the challenges and opportunities they present for industry stakeholders, as well as a short insight into the new EU Battery Regulation and the European Battery Passport as a real-world example of Product Passports. We will discuss the implications of these regulations for local companies in Singapore and Southeast Asia, and learn how digital tools like Product Passports enhance resource and material efficiency and serve as enablers for sustainable economies.

By the end of this session, participants will be equipped with valuable insights to navigate the evolving landscape of sustainable product development and manufacturing with Digital Passports. Join us to be part of this important movement!

Speakers

Speaker's Profile:

Hannah Rotthoff, Research Fellow, Fraunhofer FFB

Hannah is a sustainability professional and research associate at the Fraunhofer Institution for Battery Cell Research Production FFB in the "Lifecycle Engineering and Recycling" group. Her focus is twofold: firstly, on the investigation and implementation of Re-X strategies, with an emphasis on high-performance business models; and secondly, on the holistic analysis of value chains in the context of battery cell manufacturing. In addition to the technological perspective, the ecological sustainability perspective and the regulatory framework are highly relevant. She holds a Master of Science degree in Industrial Engineering from RWTH Aachen University.
