"FGVA EC0 - ECSI 2025"
FGVA EC0 - VALUATION AND CIRCULARITY OF RESOURCES
DESCRIPTION
European Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 on ecodesign requirements for sustainable products states that, to improve the environmental sustainability of products, relevant product information must be provided to enhance their use and performance. This information can be obtained through a tool called Product Passport.
According to this regulation, information requirements are necessary to generate the behavioral change required to ensure compliance with the Sustainability Goals.
Since 2022, AIDIMME has been carrying out the PASSOS project, which focuses on the sustainability passport for electrical and electronic products.
This passport is based on nine sustainability indices that provide reliable information about the raw materials that make up the product, the possibility of recycling, reusing, or repairing the product, among other variables.
This new edition aims to adapt the scope of the developed tool to other products, improving it to make it more accessible.
On the other hand, the aim is to strengthen the PASSOS brand so that companies that have used the tool and created the product passport have the option of obtaining recognition that their data has been validated by third parties.
In this way, the product passport is confirmed as a path to implementing the circular economy, as it promotes the closing of loops by providing reliable information on the product's composition, disassembly, repair, recycling possibilities, and other aspects.
OBJECTIVES
The project objectives focus on updating the PASSOS tool by carrying out the following actions:
- Adapt the scope of the tool for “Elements of sanitary installations with removable components”.
- Optimize text display for a clearer and more engaging user experience and incorporate dynamic elements to enhance the tool's interaction.
- Incorporate relevant brand information into the tool, as well as a user guide that facilitates understanding and use of the tool.
- Implement an effective dissemination strategy to increase the visibility and use of the tool.
Project Number: 22500002 Grant Agreement: IMAMCA/2025/2 Duration: From 01/01/2025 to 31/12/2025
Coordinated in AIDIMME by: HURTADO RUIZ, ANA MARIA
R&D Line: CIRCULAR ECONOMY

RESULTS OBTAINED
Year 2025: The results achieved have been the following:
• The tool's scope has been expanded to include a new product group. It can now also be used for "removable sanitary installation elements," which includes plumbing products, among others. An auxiliary input has been added, allowing the user to choose between a) electrical and electronic products and b) sanitary products. The tool has been tested with these new plumbing products to verify that it meets expectations.
• A new tab has been added to the tool regarding the “PASSOS brand”. The “PASSOS” brand is a nationally registered mark that guarantees that companies have self-assessed their sustainability indices and that this assessment has been verified by AIDIMME.
• The website has been modernized by inserting animations and screen transitions to facilitate reading and viewing, ensuring a more intuitive user experience.
• The tool has been disseminated at events developed by AIDIMME and other organizations, as well as in key projects, and news has been published in both internal (AIDIMME) and external newsletters (chamber of commerce sustainability newsletter).
