Webinar “The Future of Batteries in the EU” for the Czech Battery Cluster.

The Digital Product Passport is a key element of the new European legislation, which aims to increase the transparency and traceability of products throughout their life cycle. Manufacturers of light means of transport batteries, electric vehicles batteries and industrial batteries with a capacity greater than 2 kWh will be required to create and manage a digital passport for each battery placed on the market or in service. The passport will contain all relevant information relating to the battery and will facilitate subsequent recycling of the batteries, thereby promoting the development of a circular economy. The digital passport will cover not only batteries but also a diverse range of other products, such as electrical appliances and equipment, clothing, footwear, cleaning products, paint, chemicals, furniture, ICT products, etc.

The webinar fits in and builds on KSB's activities in the field of the circular economy, which together with the concept of sustainability forms one of the core elements of advanced countries in the 21st century.
