Charging ahead: OriginTrail paves the way for a sustainable future of Electric Vehicle batteries

As the world accelerates towards an Electric Vehicle (EV) future, concerns about the sustainability of EV batteries have grown. The EU has responded with a regulation, mandating digital product passports (DPPs) for EV batteries by 2027, and OriginTrail Knowledge Assets emerge as the perfect fit, providing discoverability and verifiability to each DPP. Trace Labs and their partners are leveraging OriginTrail to bring EV battery DPPs to life and build a trusted knowledge foundation for AI in the EV industry. This will provide manufacturers with exciting new ways to manage the sustainability of their supply chains and engage with their customers. And while EV batteries are the current focus, the horizon expands to a myriad of other products, signaling a sustainable future driven by OriginTrail-powered DPPs. <h1>The eco-drive: Understanding the need for EV battery passports</h1> The world is witnessing a tremendous shift towards EVs, driven not just by technological advancements but also by increasing concerns regarding environmental sustainability. At the heart of this revolution lies the EV battery, an intricate assembly of rare metals and materials. However, the extraction and utilization of these metals have raised significant environmental, ethical, and sustainability concerns, including the use of forced and child labor. Recognizing the gravity of these issues, the EU has introduced a regulation stipulating that by 2027, every EV battery in the market must have a digital product passport, accessible via a QR code. This move underlines the commitment to not only promote green transportation but also ensure its ethical and sustainable production. <a href="https://medium.com/origintrail/charging-ahead-origintrail-paves-the-way-for-a-sustainable-future-of-electric-vehicle-batteries-90ef4f23e740">Website</a>
