Digital Product Passports

What is a DPP?

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital identity for every product that makes verified lifecycle data accessible throughout the supply chain via QR or NFC: origin, materials, durability, repairability, and end-of-life instructions. It is a key tool of the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).

Digital Product Passport interface

Manage the DPP Lifecycle.
From a single point.

The DPP consolidates essential product information—materials, origin, regulatory data, and instructions for repair or reuse—into a single digital record linked to the physical item.

It makes structured product data available to relevant stakeholders, supports compliance and traceability, and enables controlled access to branded content and engagement layers over time.

Who the DPP Applies to First

The EU plans a phased rollout by product category. Priority groups include both finished and intermediate products, with broader coverage over time.

Textiles and Footwear

Apparel and footwear are among the first product groups required to adopt DPP requirements.

Furniture and Design

Furniture and interior products are prioritized to support reuse, repair, and material recovery.

Tires and Mattresses

Durability and recycling requirements make these categories a priority for DPP programs.

Metals, Chemicals, Plastics

Intermediate materials (steel, aluminum, basic chemicals, plastics, glass, paper) are included in scope.

Why It Matters

Key Benefits of the DPP

Regulatory Compliance

Aligns with the EU ESPR framework by structuring mandatory product data for verifiability and delegated acts between 2025 and 2030.

Authenticity and Traceability

Supports verified provenance and lifecycle tracking to reduce counterfeits and supply chain blind spots.

Consumer Transparency

Provides certified and trustworthy information to customers, supporting ESG goals and circular practices.

Circular Economy Enablement

Facilitates recovery, reuse, and recycling by making materials, components, and repair data accessible throughout the lifecycle.
