Mapping Tensions In Digital Product Passport Ecosystems
Insights From The Green Steel Transition
The Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) mandates Digital Product Passports (DPPs) to enhance product traceability and enable circular value chains. While DPPs are expected to improve material transparency and compliance, their implementation also impacts value exchanges across industrial ecosystems. This research-in-progress paper examines how DPPs reconfigure information flows and value exchanges within the green steel transition, reshaping business ecosystems and generating tensions. Using value modelling of the Groeien met Groen Staal (GGS) ecosystem, the study identifies inter-actor tensions and develops a preliminary taxonomy across three dimensions: transparency versus control, coordination versus autonomy, and value creation versus value capture. The taxonomy provides a structured lens for analysing how digital infrastructures redistribute information, governance, and value in circular ecosystems. Future empirical iterations will validate and refine the taxonomy through stakeholder engagement within the GGS consortium.

The sustainability scale-up framework
A tool to design scale-up strategies for sustainable businesses
Sustainable Business Model (SBM) is a strategic approach that integrates sustainability into the core operations and values of organisations. However, scaling SBMs remains a significant challenge due to resource constraints, operational inefficiencies, and stakeholder complexities, emphasising the need for structured frameworks to facilitate this process. This paper introduces the Sustainability Scale-Up Framework (SSF), a comprehensive tool explicitly developed through a design approach to help businesses scale their operations while maintaining alignment with environmental, social, and economic sustainability principles. The SSF was developed iteratively through an extensive literature review, and semi-structured interviews with experts and practitioners of sustainable startups. The SSF's layered structure systematically addresses value creation, operational scalability, stakeholder engagement, and strategic alignment, uniquely integrating value tensions across economic, social, and environmental dimensions to guide the scaling of SBMs. The SSF was validated through a business case workshop where its practical utility based on parameters like usability, flexibility, coherence, and applicability were examined. This paper contributes to SBM, scalability, and strategic design literature by offering insights through a vision-driven framework, providing a novel methodological approach to integrate strategic design principles into scaling processes, and delivering practical tools for businesses, and policymakers to foster sustainable growth for achieving transformative impact.
