We guide you in selecting, validating, and industrializing specialized processes for repair, rework, and reuse operations. With the DPP, you can unlock the residual value embedded in your products at end of life.

End-of-life is no longer just a cost center, it becomes a value recovery phase driven by repair, rework, refurbishment, and the reuse of components and materials. To make these processes scalable, two elements are essential: reliable industrial methods and trusted product information.

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) provides structured access to product and lifecycle data, continuously available through a dedicated interface to support operational and technical decision-making throughout the product’s entire lifecycle.

With this service, we help you turn end-of-life into a true business opportunity: we define the required processes, qualify and test them, and integrate them into your operational workflows using the DPP as the key enabler for accessing critical product information.

What we do for you

1) Residual value analysis and end-of-life pathways 

We start from the product and its components to identify where residual value lies and how it can be recovered.

We support you in defining a monetization strategy that enables the transition from decommissioned product to regenerated asset. 

2) Definition and selection of specialized processes 

We identify the most suitable processes to recover value from your specific product. Our expertise covers, among others: specialized repair operations (micro-repairs, qualified welding, reconstruction, structural bonding), rework and surface restoration, testing and recalibration (functional validation, performance, safety), advanced melting processes, additive manufacturing for metals and polymers (L-PBF, WAAM, DED, SLS, SLA, FDM), metal powder atomization processes, surface treatments and coatings.

3) Process testing and qualification (proof of concept + industrialization) 

To make second-life economically sustainable, industrial repeatability is essential. We help you ensure this through targeted test plans, process validation on samples and pilot batches, and quality and performance validation, also in collaboration with technical partners, laboratories, and certification bodies. 

4) DPP for end-of-life: operational data to decide “what to do” and “how to do it” 

Selecting the right process requires reliable and field-accessible information. We support you in configuring the Digital Product Passport with the most relevant end-of-life data, tailored to your product and manufacturing processes.
