What is a Digital Product Passport?

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital record that contains comprehensive information about a product throughout its entire lifecycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.

The DPP is a key component of the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and aims to increase transparency, enable circular economy practices, and help consumers make informed decisions.

Why Are DPPs Mandatory?

Compliance
