Circular economy strategies for manufacturers: recyclability, traceability, certification, and compliance to improve recycled materials and support credible claims

Heat pumps play an important role in Europe's clean energy transition. As demand grows, so do expectations from customers, regulators, investors, and procurement teams. Manufacturers are being asked more often to not only demonstrate product performance, but also to show credible information about environmental impacts across the entire life cycle

Imagine every product you use has a living memory. Your phone battery remembers where its lithium came from. Your home’s solar panels know how they were manufactured. The can of paint you just bought can explain its environmental impact. A piece of electrical equipment tells you how to repair and recycle it. Thanks to the European Union's Digital Product Passport (DPP), this idea is becoming a reality. The DPP is a single record that travels with a product throughout its lifecycle, making the search for product information across several documents, databases, and supply chains soon to be a thing of the past.

Explore the new expectations shaping solar and energy storage, from sustainability and battery passports to cybersecurity, safety, and responsible supply chains.

For many companies, critical information is still spread across spreadsheets, inspections, reports, and disconnected software systems, making it harder to respond quickly and make informed operational decisions. Added to that, unexpected downtime, disconnected systems, aging infrastructure, and growing compliance pressure are making industrial asset management more challenging than ever before.

As Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) deployment expands across Europe, new EU regulations are creating major compliance requirements for developers, investors, utilities, and operators. From fire safety expectations to the upcoming Battery Passport, companies involved in battery storage projects may soon face increased scrutiny across the entire project lifecycle. According to Steven Xuereb, Executive Director, Kiwa PI Berlin AG, battery storage is quickly becoming one of the energy sector’s main priorities.
