Listen "Digital Steel Passport: Rethinking construction for a circular future"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Stirring the Pot we are having a kōrero with Osama Mughrabi, Mick Fritschy and Caroline James about one of the biggest shifts facing construction: digital product passports.With costs rising, resources tightening and pressure mounting to build more sustainably, the idea of reusability and circular economy is no longer on the fringes. It is becoming central to how we prepare this sector for the future.Mick, co founder of Rosala Street, explains what a digital product passport actually is, how it works and why it could reduce admin while building valuable material banks. Caroline from GS1 shares how Europe and other markets are already moving toward passports as policy, and what lessons Aotearoa can take from international developments. Osama brings it back home, looking at how the pilot project is landing in New Zealand and what this means for local manufacturers, contractors and project owners.Whether you are curious about reducing compliance headaches, looking for ways to meet sustainability goals, or want to understand how global changes could affect your projects, this episode offers insights on where construction is heading and why digital product passports could be a game changer.
