Digital legislation

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital record that contains key information about a product throughout its entire lifecycle. Its purpose is to increase transparency, promote circularity, and provide clearer insight into sustainability. The passport can include information about materials, origin, repair options, recycling, and the environmental impact of a product.

The Digital Product Passport is an important part of the European strategy for a circular economy. Under new European regulations, an increasing number of product groups will be required to have a digital passport.

Why is the Digital Product Passport important?

The Digital Product Passport provides businesses, consumers, and regulators with access to reliable product information. This offers several advantages:

• Greater transparency about the origin and composition of products

• Improved recycling and reuse through better insight into materials

• Support for repair and maintenance

• Enabling more sustainable choices for consumers and organizations

• Compliance with upcoming European legislation

By making product information digitally accessible, it becomes easier to extend product lifecycles and use raw materials more efficiently.
