Proposal(s) title:
- An information model for digital product passport information on sustainability and circularity
Proposal(s) topic:
Circular Economy including Digital Product Passport
Impact on SMEs:
Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)
It is particularly important that European SMEs find DPPs a way to communicate the sustainability advantages of their products better and that producing a DPP, and digitalising product information becomes an advantage and not an additional obstacle to SMEs. One of the advantages of ITU and ETSI over other standards development organisations is that these standards will be free and more accessible for SMEs.

The digitalisation of product-related information has the aim to contribute to a transition to more environmentally sustainable and circular products.

Impact on society:
Impact on society (5th Open Call)
The resulting standard element from this work will support legislative initiatives in the EU for implementing the digital product passport for ICT products in Europe and globally. This work focuses on environmental information for ICT products, and is complementary to other digital standards about the DPP in Europe and globally. Also, this a relevant standard for any size organisation that produces or modifies ICT products that are part, involved in any stage, of the circular economy
Proposal(s) title:
- Good practices for the sanitisation of the information media in end-of-life ICT devices
Proposal(s) topic:
Circular Economy including Digital Product Passport
Impact on SMEs:
Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
Relevant for any size organisation that produces or modifies ICT products that are part, involved in any stage, of the circular economy. Particularly, this is very important for social enterprises in the business of repair, refurbishment and recycling. This is the case, for instance, of the European RReuse.org association that groups social enterprises with more than 100.000 jobs.

Impact on society (6th Open Call)
The resulting standards from the ITU-T L.GPSIM work item will support legislative initiatives in the EU about ecodesign and sustainable products to remove data sanitization as a risk and barrier to the circular economy (reuse and other circular processes to extend product lifespan) and for the implementation and evaluation of circular economy initiatives.
Value of Research
Within my WG, we address the gap in the link between digitisation and environmental sustainability, and particularly of products and services. Specifically, digital devices and related elements ranging from materials to e-waste are a significant part of our environmental problem.
