📱 Guide to the Digital Product Passport (DPP)
🎯 What is a Digital Product Passport?
The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital record that provides transparency into a product’s lifecycle. It contains essential data about its composition, environmental impact, durability, repairability, and end-of-life options.
Think of it as a transparent, traceable identity card for each item, designed to support:
- 📋 Regulatory compliance with ESPR and EU circularity goals
- 🔍 Informed consumer choices through clear sustainability data
- ♻️ Circular economy processes like repair, reuse, and recycling
- 📈 Internal improvements through data-driven decisions
