Abstract
The European Union aims to promote the circular economy (CE) to make the European economy more resource-efficient and competitive. The successful realization of CE is highly dependent on the availability of information. Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are a promising concept that will make product data available across organizational and domain boundaries. To leverage the potential value opportunities of DPPs beyond regulatory compliance, it is necessary to advance our understanding of how organizations can benefit from them. This research-in-progress paper presents findings from expert interviews, including a descriptive analysis of seven actor roles, five value activities, and five categories of added value. These results are synthesized into an ecosystem model. The proposed model aims to support researchers and practitioners in the future design and adoption of DPPs, advancing our understanding of the opportunities for leveraging value from DPPs.
