SUMMARY:Digital Product Passports Explained: What Manufacturers Must Do to Comply with EU DPP Requirements
DESCRIPTION:Digital Product Passports are coming — and they will fundamentally change how products are designed\, documented\, and brought to market in the European Union. \nIn this RAIN Alliance session\, we explore what the EU’s Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements mean for manufacturers\, exporters\, and global brands. From the EU Battery Regulation to the Eco Design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)\, this presentation breaks down the regulatory timeline\, required product data\, and the practical steps companies must take to prepare. \nWe also examine the role of data carriers — including QR codes\, NFC\, and RAIN RFID — and how RAIN technology can support scalable\, item-level digital identity across global supply chains. \nIf your organization manufactures or sells products into the EU\, this discussion will help you understand what’s coming\, what’s required\, and how Digital Product Passports can enable new levels of transparency\, circularity\, and operational efficiency.

SUMMARY:The RAIN Effect on RE-Use Models by Turning Smart Payments into Smart Savings
DESCRIPTION:Join industry leaders Peter Jackson (Avery Dennison)\, Leah Wistrand (WRAP)\, David Green (Blenheim Palace)\, and Tony McGurk (Re-universe) for an engaging webinar exploring how RAIN technology is accelerating the shift from single-use to scalable reuse models. \nThis session dives into the critical role of RAIN Smart Label technology in making reuse systems frictionless\, data-driven\, and economically viable—unlocking smarter payments\, smarter operations\, and smarter savings across the value chain. \nAt the heart of the discussion is a real-world case study from Blenheim Palace\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site welcoming over one million visitors each year. Faced with the challenge of enhancing guest experience while dramatically reducing environmental impact\, Blenheim Palace became one of the first heritage attractions to integrate RAIN Smart Labels into a reusable cup program. The results speak for themselves: the elimination of single-use cups\, a smoother visitor journey\, improved operational efficiency\, and measurable sustainability gains. The session will also explore the critical element of behavioral change and how to ensure public adoption as these reuse systems expand. \nWhether you’re exploring reuse for the first time or looking to scale an existing program\, this webinar will show how connected products and smart payments can transform reuse from a sustainability ambition into a commercially successful reality. The panel is expected to be further enriched by the potential participation of WRAP\, who may join to specifically discuss the critical element of behavioral change and how to ensure public adoption as these reuse systems expand.

SUMMARY:RAIN RFID: Built for Privacy\, Designed for Trust Webinar
DESCRIPTION:As RAIN technology expands into consumer-facing applications — from smartphone-enabled readers to digital product passports and authentication services — questions around privacy\, data integrity\, and trust are becoming increasingly important. \nThis webinar will explain how RAIN safeguards are built directly into the technology architecture\, not added later. Experts will introduce a clear framework — Three Risks\, Three Safeguards — to show how RAIN systems address the core challenges of data integrity\, privacy\, and product authentication. \nAttendees will learn how features such as tag locking\, proximity-based communication\, privacy commands\, and cryptographic authentication protect product data and help prevent cloning or tampering. The session will also explore how responsible system design and governance support privacy-by-design principles and regulatory compliance as adoption scales. \nThe webinar will conclude with guidance on best practices for implementation and an overview of the updated RAIN Privacy & Trust Technical Guide for those seeking deeper technical insight.

SUMMARY:20 Years of RAIN Sensing: Legacy Knowledge for the Next Generation of IoT Standards
DESCRIPTION:“20 Years of RAIN Sensing – Legacy Knowledge for the Next Generation of IoT Standards”.\n\nThese sessions will be led by industry pioneer Jim Springer\, who has been at the forefront of wireless sensing for over two decades and has been a key contributor to the ISO and GS1 standards that shape our ecosystem.\n\n \nThe perceived “lack of standards” in RAIN RFID sensing is largely a myth: the standards do exist\, but broader market adoption depends on a clearer understanding of how they have evolved and how they can be translated into real-world solutions. \n\n\nThese sessions explore the standardization journey of sensing in RAIN RFID\, tracing over 20 years of technical evolution—from early battery-powered prototypes developed in the EU BRIDGE project to today’s ISO/IEC 18000-63 and GS1 EPC Gen2v3 sensing capabilities. \n\n\nInitiated within the RAIN Sensing Working Group\, this two-part briefing series aims to actively engage all members interested in adopting and advancing RAIN sensing with time for questions. \nWhy Join?\n\nStrategic insight: Understand how existing sensing standards connect to real-world product development and deployment.\nFuture-proofing: Gain the technical context needed to train the next generation of RAIN experts. \nEvent Schedule: \nPart 1 | The Foundations: Early solutions\, Battery Assisted Passive mode (BAP)\, and first sensor indicators\nThursday\, April 23rd | 4:30 PM CET \nPart 2 | Modern Standards: Passive sensing\, Gen2v3\, and enhanced reader support\nThursday\, May 7th | 4:30 PM CET \nMeeting Link\nThe sessions will be held via Google Meet at: https://meet.google.com/vpt-mgyx-kfs\n \n\n\nSpeaker: Jim Springer\nWith over two decades at the forefront of wireless sensing\, Jim Springer has been a key contributor to ISO and GS1 standards shaping the RAIN ecosystem. His work with EM Microelectronic and within ISO committees has helped define the architecture of modern passive sensing. \nModerated by Nicoletta Panunzio\, Radio6ense srl.
