Digital Product Passports: a lever for transparency and sustainability

Updated: Feb 8

The European Digital Product Passport (DPP) aims to enable the digital sharing of key product-related information that is essential for products' sustainability and circularity across all the relevant economic actors.


DPPs collect information ranging from a product's composition and lifecycle, including raw materials, provenance, and production events, up to recycling, suppliers, etc. Overall, it significantly improves access to qualified data across the value chain, providing critical visibility to:

  • Assess and optimize a product's sustainability and environmental impact

  • Allow authorities to verify compliance with legal obligations

  • Communicate sustainability guarantees and differentiate products in a B2B context

  • Help consumers make sustainable choices with more informed purchasing decisions


Use Digital Product Passport to get a competitive edge by proving quality and ESG policies with transparency and traceability.

Battery passports for electric cars will be the first DPPs to be implemented in 2024, although the DPPs' definitive contents are still the subject of ongoing debate. Textiles, construction, electronic waste, plastics, chemicals, and automotive sectors are all seeing pressures and initiatives to move to more sustainable business practices. DPPs will be fully implemented by 2029.
