Abstract：
The Digital Product Passport (DPP) as a product-specific data set is a powerful tool that provides information on the origin or composition of products and increases transparency and traceability. This recycling case study accompanies the production of 2192 frisbees, which originated from collected beverage bottle caps. In total, 486.7 kg of feedstock was collected and transformed into 363.2 kg of final product with verified traceability through all process steps via a DPP, provided by the R-Cycle initiative and based on the GS1 standard. This demanded a generally agreed dataset, the availability of technical infrastructure, and additional effort in the processing steps to collect and process the data. R-Cycle offers a one-layer DPP where the data structure is lean and information is visible to everyone. This is beneficial to a variety of stakeholders in terms of transparency. However, it does not allow the sharing of sensitive information. On the one hand, the DPP has a high potential to be an enabler for customer engagement, origin verification, or as a starting point for more efficient and advanced recycling of plastics. On the other hand, the DPP involves a certain effort in data generation and handling, which must be justified by the benefits. For small, simple packaging items, the DPP may not be the perfect solution for all problems. However, with a broader societal mindset and legislative push, the DPP can become a widely used and trusted declaration tool. This can support the plastics industry in its journey towards a circular economy.
摘要：
数字产品护照（DPP）作为特定于产品的数据集，是一种功能强大的工具，可提供有关产品来源或组成的信息，并提高透明度和可追溯性。这个回收案例研究伴随着2192只飞盘的生产，起源于收集的饮料瓶盖。总的来说,通过DPP收集486.7kg原料并将其转化为363.2kg最终产品，并通过所有工艺步骤验证了可追溯性，由R-Cycle倡议提供，并基于GS1标准。这需要一个普遍同意的数据集，技术基础设施的可用性，以及处理步骤中收集和处理数据的额外工作。R-Cycle提供了一个单层DPP，其中数据结构是精简的，每个人都可以看到信息。在透明度方面，这对各种利益相关者都是有益的。然而,它不允许共享敏感信息。一方面,DPP很有可能成为客户参与的推动者，原产地验证,或作为更有效和先进的塑料回收的起点。另一方面,DPP涉及在数据生成和处理方面的一定努力，这必须以利益为理由。对于小，简单的包装物品，民进党可能不是所有问题的完美解决方案。然而,有了更广泛的社会心态和立法推动，DPP可以成为广泛使用和可信的声明工具。这可以支持塑料行业走向循环经济。
