Circularise is Set to Launch a New Digital Product Passport System

— March 5, 2024 — Eco
Circularise, in collaboration with the Japan Circular Economy Partnership (J-CEP), AMITA Corporation, and Marubeni Corporation, has launched an initiative that promises to redefine industry standards while contributing significantly to the global push against plastic pollution.

Through a recent trial, Circularise has demonstrated the transformative potential of digital product passports (DPPs), heralding a new era of accountability and sustainability in the realm of plastic waste management. These innovative passports serve as digital footprints, documenting the lifecycle of plastic bottle caps from their initial collection stages to their eventual repurposing into high-quality recycled products.

“Our work with J-CEP shows the potential of digital product passports to transform the recycling industry. Our vision is to arm more companies with this technology, driving a tangible shift towards a circular economy,” said Circularise co-founder Jordi de Vos.
