Towards a Digital Lifecycle Passport for the Circular Economy
Open accessAbstract
The Circular Economy approach aims to close the loop of materials and to reduce waste. However, relevant product data for the optimization and management of circular approaches are often missing. Stakeholders typically lack key information: Recyclers do not know which materials/compounds to expect, producers do not know enough about the recyclability of their products, and customers do not have enough information about the environmental impact of their purchases. As a solution, this paper proposes a Digital Lifecycle Passport (DLCP) that can be written and read by various stakeholders along the full product lifecycle. Based on Plattform Industrie 4.0’s Asset Administration Shell, the DLCP is readable for both humans and machines. A cloud-based app (SaaS) enables all stakeholders to create and manage DLCPs. As a use case, it is demonstrated how the DLCP can improve the sorting process of electronic waste.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
