Sustainability and the circular economy, including the associated decision-making criteria, are already a relevant topic today and are likely to become even more important in the near future. In this context, the topic of sustainability is fraught with great uncertainty, as the details and possible implementations in this area are not clear and can hardly be outlined. For example, the declaration of the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) will become one of many new regulatory requirements of the European Union under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the Green Deal. Following on from this, industry in all sectors will probably be required to provide certain product information in the form of a Digital Product Passport (DPP).

At Hanover Fair 2023, ZVEI will show how the electro and digital industry is shaping the transformation to an All-Electric-Society.

Direct current is our vision for a sustainable installation in the All-Electric-Society. Let's take off together in 2023!

The ZVEI working party ODCA (Open Direct Current Alliance) was founded at the end of last year to represent the interests of the international electrical industry in the field of direct current technology. This includes building an international direct current ecosystem and establishing direct current technology for many applications in the manufacturing and process industries as well as adjacent markets by addressing, discussing and evaluating relevant technical, regulatory and economic aspects.
