Challenge
Ekdahls Möbler wanted to prepare early for the obligation, expected under the EU Green Deal, to provide an individual digital product passport for every product sold in Europe. As a smaller manufacturer, however, it lacked a clear picture of which internal processes and data would need to change to meet that requirement.
Solution
From requirements to prototype
- WorkshopsWith Interior Cluster Sweden
- Gap analysisCurrent vs. required state
- PrototypeFor a specific piece of furniture
Three steps in this order: joint workshops to gather requirements, a gap analysis comparing the current and required state, a prototype digital product passport for a specific piece of furniture.
Technologies
- Gap analysis
- Information model for product passports
In focus
- Sustainability attributes
- Joint workshops
Results
The analysis resulted in a working prototype that captures information on the piece’s materials, manufacturing processes and sustainability attributes, aligned with upcoming EU requirements. The initiative was funded through the SILEO 1° Open Call.
