EIT RawMaterials has published a success story on the CSYARES project, which Circularise led.

The project tackled one of the harder problems in critical materials: how do you make rare earth supply chains transparent and verifiable, without forcing companies to expose sensitive business data? The answer was connecting traceability with life-cycle assessment so companies could track material origin, verify environmental impact, and demonstrate regulatory compliance using the same system.

It's the kind of work that tends to get less attention than the finished product, but it's what makes circularity in critical minerals actually possible.

The EU Digital Battery Passport becomes mandatory in February 2027, and one of the biggest hurdles companies face right now is getting the data ready.

Carbon footprint reporting, due diligence documentation, traceability across suppliers. It all needs to be collected, structured, and ready to withstand verification.

We're teaming up with DEKRA for a free webinar covering the practical side of getting this right:

✅ What data to start collecting now
✅ How to work with suppliers across complex value chains
✅ What third-party verification actually involves
✅ Common data gaps that trip companies up

Maria from our team was at TU Delft's Climate Action Day in Delft, presenting the FAIR PV project to researchers and climate practitioners. The project asks a question that doesn't get enough airtime: what happens to a solar panel at the end of its life? The audience had a lot to say about it.

FAIR PV (Biosphere Solar, AMS Institute, TU Delft, and Circularise) is developing solar panels designed to be repaired, refurbished, and fully tracked across their lifecycle. Circularise provides the Digital Product Passport technology that makes secure, transparent data sharing across the value chain possible.

We're proud to be part of this work and grateful for every room that takes the time to engage with it.

Great news! 🎉

We have taken a major step forward for battery traceability in Europe: Honda Motor Europe Ltd. has chosen Circularise to support its digital battery passport readiness ahead of the EU Battery Regulation's 18 February 2027 deadline.

From that date, certain batteries placed on the EU market must carry a digital passport. Honda Motor Europe and Circularise have been working together on how that passport can be built, shared, and sustained in everyday operations, pairing Honda Motor Europe's product and market expertise with Circularise's traceability and controlled data-sharing capabilities.

Why this matters: the 2027 deadline is an early test of Europe's Digital Product Passport framework, and battery is the first sector through the door. For manufacturers, compliance has stopped being a question of meeting a checklist on paper. It depends on whether battery data is structured, governed, and disclosed in a way that holds up at production scale, across tiers, without forcing disclosure of commercially sensitive information.

That is the focus of this collaboration. Huge thanks to the team at Honda Motor Europe for working with us as the European battery passport landscape takes shape.

A new report is putting a number to something the raw materials sector has been feeling for a while: the workforce for tomorrow's challenges isn't ready yet.

EIT RawMaterials, Europe's largest raw materials knowledge and innovation community, has published a whitepaper on the skills the industry needs to close by 2030. Three areas come up as most critical: Circular Economy know-how, AI and machine learning, and data-driven Lifecycle Assessment. These are the skills needed to comply with the Critical Raw Materials Act, track supply chain data, and meet Green Deal reporting requirements.

3D-CIRCULAR is a master and doctoral programme designed specifically to train for this gap. Built with partners including the University of the Aegean and École des Ponts Business School, it develops the engineers, data scientists, and sustainability specialists the report is calling for.

Here's a question that doesn't get asked often enough in the digital product passport world: does the transparency DPPs require actually change what happens at end of life?

In March, Deborah Dull, Phil Brown and Judith Ketelslegers published an article in the World Economic Forum arguing that it doesn't always. Their case: transparency is only worth investing in when the data will genuinely change an operational decision. When it won't, you're adding cost without adding circularity.

On 10 June, we're bringing all three authors together for a live panel. They'll work through the framework with real examples, challenge each other where they disagree, and take questions. Free to attend, 60 minutes, and recorded for those who can't join live.

A question we've been hearing a lot lately: "When do we actually need to start on DPPs?"

The honest answer: most companies should have started already.

With the EU's central DPP registry going live in July 2026 and battery passports mandatory from February 2027, the timelines are no longer abstract. But awareness of the deadlines and readiness to meet them are still very different things.

A Digital Product Passport isn't a form you fill in. It's a digital record built from verified supplier data across multiple tiers of your supply chain, from raw materials to finished product. Building that takes time: supplier onboarding, data collection, verification, and connecting to the EU's registry format.

The companies that move now will have options. The ones that wait until it's mandatory will be competing for the same implementation resources at the same time.

If DPPs are on your radar but not yet on your roadmap, this is worth reading: what implementation actually involves and where most companies underestimate it.

The EU's anti-deforestation law just got a lot easier to comply with, and the environmental targets stayed exactly where they were.

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) covers products like coffee, cocoa, beef, wood, soy, palm oil, and rubber. If you sell any of these (or products made from them) into the EU market, you have to prove they did not contribute to deforestation. Enforcement begins 30 December 2026 for large and medium companies.

This month, the European Commission published simplification measures that cut compliance costs by roughly 75%. The main changes: only the first company placing a product on the EU market now needs to submit a due diligence declaration. Downstream companies in the chain collect a reference number instead of filing separately. Small businesses get a simplified form and can use approximate location data rather than precise geolocation coordinates.

The regulation is not getting softer. The deadlines are confirmed. But compliance has been made easier
