Abstract

Digital product passports have been recommended as a tool to improve circularity and sustainability. The European Commission has published a proposal for the regulation of sustainable batteries, proposing a concept of battery passport for each individual battery placed on the market. This paper presents the results of a study defining the data needs of battery value chain actors and how battery passport should address these needs. A literature review was conducted, key battery value chain actors in Finland were interviewed, and a workshop was organised that defined the data requirements. The key matters that need to be settled in the implementation of a battery passport are where the data will be stored, who will have access to the data, how the data will be analysed, and what the key performance indicators are and how they will be calculated.
