Participants will gain insight into the evolving regulatory landscape, explore how digital product information can improve traceability and transparency, and learn how DPPs are expected to impact product development, manufacturing, supply chains, and end-of-life management. Through industry examples and discussions, the course helps participants assess organisational readiness for upcoming requirements and identify key actions needed to support compliance. The course is particularly relevant for professionals involved in product development, sustainability, digitalisation, quality management, compliance, and strategic decision-making.
