RESULTS
Training in DPP for Battery Sector Need Analysis Validation
PIECE_Need analysis report – The report highlights the need for developing a Digital Product Passport (DPP) to support the battery industry in aligning with the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan. It identifies the industry’s current engagement, barriers, and training needs related to DPP implementation, focusing on improving product traceability, sustainability, and regulatory compliance. Through surveys and roundtable discussions, it is revealed that most institutions lack specific DPP training, showing significant gaps in both capacity building and resources. Key barriers include the complexity of implementation and varying levels of industry engagement.
Training Course Units
PIECE.CU1 | Learning Platform – This unit introduces learners to the concept of the Digital Product Passport (DPP), with a specific focus on its application in the battery industry. It explains the scope, benefits, and challenges of implementing the DPP, while also addressing regulatory requirements, stakeholder roles, and data protection issues. Learners will gain foundational knowledge necessary to understand why the DPP is being introduced and how it supports the EU Circular Economy Action Plan.
Course: Battery Passport – PIECE – CU2 | Learning Platform – This unit focuses on the practical implementation and management of the Digital Battery Passport (DBP) within business operations. It introduces regulatory compliance guidelines, explains how to integrate DBP processes into organizational workflows, and highlights the importance of stakeholder collaboration. Additionally, learners will explore DBP labels, supporting technologies, and digital tools used in the management process.
Course: Battery Passport – PIECE – CU3 | Learning Platform– This unit addresses how to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Digital Battery Passport system and how to drive continuous improvement. It covers the analysis of DBP data, assessment of the battery supply chain’s current state, and best practices for data protection and intellectual property (IP) security. Learners will also explore the regulatory landscape influencing the DBP and how to adapt to evolving requirements.
