Cirmar is thrilled to see the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety, and Consumer Protection (BMUV) taking a decisive step towards a more sustainable future with the release of the National Circular Economy Strategy (NKWS). This strategy underscores Germany’s commitment to reducing the consumption of primary raw materials and highlights the importance of digital tools like the Digital Product Passport (DPP) to achieve its circular economy goals. It’s only a strategy, that has to be elaborated in specific legislative measures – but it’s a great start!
The NKWS sets ambitious targets, such as significantly cutting raw material usage and doubling the share of secondary raw materials by 2030. This vision aligns perfectly with our mission at Cirmar to enable transparency, and responsible resource management through our DPP-as-a-service platform.
We are particularly encouraged by the recognition of the DPP as a pivotal enabler of circularity. By making critical product information — from material composition to repair instructions — accessible across value chains, the DPP empowers businesses, consumers, and regulators to make informed, sustainable choices. This approach not only supports resource efficiency but also strengthens supply chain resilience and reduces dependency on imports.
As a technology provider in this space, we’re excited to contribute to the realisation of these goals. C_passport® is designed to help companies meet these new regulatory requirements, but more importantly: to unlock economic opportunities in the circular economy.
We applaud the BMUV for this bold strategy and stand ready to support businesses and stakeholders in navigating this transformative shift. The path to a circular economy is complex, but with the right tools and collaboration, it’s a journey worth taking.
If your organisation is looking for guidance on how to comply with upcoming regulations or leverage the power of Digital Product Passports, we’re here to support you. Let’s work together to drive sustainable change and make circularity the new standard.
