CE-RISE Annual Event | RE-thinking electronics: how to optimise REuse, REpair, REcycling, REmanufacturing and REcovery of valuable resources in electronic products using Digital Product Passport

Join our interactive workshop at Electronics Goes Green conference on 17 June both online and in Berlin!

During the event, our partners will shed light on their respective value chain experiences and challenges including the view point of consumers (UNITAR), upstream (Lexmark, Viessmann Climate Solutions), and downstream (Ecoreset, GreenIT, ROSI) actors, as well as producer responsibility organisations (Erion, ECOLOGICON, REPIC). 

Expecting a lively discussion with the audience, we will equally show how CE-RISE is planning to address the value chain expectations and how EU regulation-based reporting and compliance that can be assisted by the CE-RISE system and what industry hurdles are anticipated as through our heat pump/battery case study.

Continuing on the theme of learning from experience, our Advisory Board member, Eduard Wagner (Fraunhofer IZM) will share the lessons learnt from one of the first EU funded Digital Product Passport projects, CIRPASS.
