Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Deliverable 1.3 of the CE-RISE project provides recommendations for integrating RE-indicators into product lifecycle management through Digital Product Passports (DPPs), supporting the EU’s circular economy goals. It addresses challenges such as regulatory complexity, data gaps, technical barriers, and low consumer awareness, emphasizing the need for harmonized standards, collaboration, and supportive frameworks. The report guides transparent calculation and use of RE-indicators to inform design, decision-making, and reporting, while stressing their early integration into lifecycles and alignment with EU legislation. It also highlights the importance of raising awareness, showcasing business and environmental benefits, engaging consumers, and delivering tailored training for stakeholders to ensure effective adoption and widespread implementation.
