From Cell to Circle: The Digital Passport Powered by IRIS – Data CoLAB
Discovery Stage
The battery industry faces a central problem today: data about each battery, including raw material origin, quality tests, carbon footprint, and usage history, is scattered across suppliers, manufacturers, customers, regulators, and recyclers, with no one holding the full record needed to issue a compliant Digital Product Passport. This is where IRIs comes in, a platform that aims to deburocratize compliance with the Digital Product Passport by integrating data from each organization's internal systems and by simplifying communication channels with the various stakeholders, making the relational flow between entities more streamlined and direct. IRIs also enables self-assessed LCA evaluations and data sharing with third parties, so that the final content of the passport is not only aligned with the EU's regulatory requirements, but also authentic and verifiable. Central to all of this is data sovereignty: permission control and data management layers ensure that sharing and handling information for the passport is always secure and structured, with each entity deciding what it shares, with whom, and to what depth. The end result is twofold. On one hand, an interoperable information system that supports decision-making across the entire value chain. On the other, a simple reporting system that prevents the same data from being replicated across multiple entities, removing redundant effort from organizations' quality teams and simplifying the path to a fully compliant Digital Product Passport. The solution already has use cases across several sectors and is currently being applied in the battery sector with a multinational, with the goal that by February 2028 the company will be fully aligned with the requirements, so that the Digital Product Passport never becomes a question in the business.
