• Ask our experts. We will always keep the door open to questions or challenges you might want to discuss with our experts. That is why you will find a link to our contact page in the cockpit. Together we will find a solution!

Nuanced end-of-use

The end-of-use treatment was already part of C_passport®, but you can now also nuance it. What that means? Products consisting of different components are not always fully recycled, refurbished or incinerated. Some components are suitable for recycling, others are not (yet). That is why you can now specify the end-of-use treatment per component or product, after which the system automatically calculates the exact split between recycling, refurbishment and incineration when assembling a product.

Passport groups

Via the ‘C_passport®’ menu item, you can now choose to either create a separate passport, or a passport group. You can then add previously created passports (end products) to that group. Especially with large quantities of passports in your account, this comes in handy!

Decimal use in assembly

When you create an endproduct, you can choose to use the material composition and derived impact from the underlying passports. To do so, you need to enter the assembly in the last step of passport creation. Previously, this could only be done in whole numbers. In the example above, we have specified the amount of fabric for a pair of work trousers. This way, you can enter the passports in clear units (e.g. m2) and you can specify exactly how much fabric you need for the trousers in the assembly.

Renewed website

You might have already noticed: we have refreshed our website! You navigate more easily through our pages and we have, for example, brought together news and use cases on Circular Stories. Get inspired and discover the possibilities of our tech tools!
