Market consultation Materials Passport Blue Nets Text automatically translated in your browsing language Automatically translated
In recent years there has been a lot of talk within our sector about the materials passport. This passport provides a detailed overview of the materials used in a building or infrastructure, contributing to transparency and sustainability. Some parties within the sector have already made significant progress in implementing the materials passport, while others are still at the beginning of this process. This is especially true for water companies. In addition, the market for raw materials has changed considerably in recent years. Due to increasing globalisation, technological progress and the growing demand for sustainable and circular solutions, we are seeing a shift in how raw materials are extracted, processed and reused. Innovations in recycling technologies and the development of alternative materials contribute to a more circular economy, minimising waste and using raw materials more efficiently. In addition, geopolitical tensions and environmental laws, such as the CSRD, have a major impact on the availability and price of raw materials. Companies are increasingly encouraged to be transparent about their raw materials chain and to make sustainable choices, leading to a dynamic and constantly evolving market. When implementing the materials passport, we also run into newer sustainability management methods from the sector that are apparently strongly related to the materials passport. We may wish to take these developments into account immediately during implementation. To support the further development and implementation of the materials passport, we would like to ask some targeted questions to the market. The aim is to gain valuable insights without unnecessarily burdening the parties involved. The questions are divided into different themes to ensure a structured and efficient consultation.
