WHAT DOES THE BATTERY PASSPORT MEAN FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

Looming legislations, such as the The European Union’s upcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP) will require manufacturers in the automotive industry, particularly battery producers, to emit a digital battery passport (DBP) that includes all information about critical materials and their origins. The DBP must also contain information on a battery’s entire lifecycle—from the raw materials through to manufacturing, primary use, remanufacturing, recycling and end-of-life disposal. The regulation will also stipulate that a certain percentage of each product be made from recycled materials, with restrictions on the amount of products that can be thrown away.

The DBP will have substantial implications for global value chains as it will set a precedent and example to follow for the international adoption of all other types of DPPs in the future. Investing in the right traceability technologies will be key to create a battery passport.
