Digital Product Passports (DPP) have been introduced as part of several new regulations issued by the European Commission for gathering and sharing data on products and their supply chains. The imminent regulations require that such product information is made available to key stakeholders along the value chain, including the producers of raw materials and ingredients, distributors, and ultimately end-customers.<\/p>\n

Regarding the product information which should be disclosed, the European parliament<\/a> has stated:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\u201cDigital product passports could provide information on a product’s compliance with EU rules, composition, origin of components, as well as repair and dismantling possibilities.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n

These new regulations fall into bigger, EU wide initiatives like the Circular Economy Action Plan<\/a> (CEAP) and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation<\/a>. The goal of these initiatives is to enhance sustainability and accessibility of products by increasing product traceability. As part of the CEAP, key industries and value chains have been identified for regulation.<\/p>\n

Based on the CEAP, Digital Product Passports are set to be introduced in the E.U. to at least three of the following key industries by 2024:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Textiles<\/li>\n
  2. Construction products<\/li>\n
  3. Car batteries<\/li>\n
  4. Customer electronics<\/li>\n
  5. Food<\/li>\n
  6. Packaging<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n \n What is a Digital Product Passport?\n <\/h1>\n\n\n

      A Digital Product Passport refers to a digital profile given to an individual product which includes information such as its origins and supply chain history, sustainability of production, authenticity, and other business information such as warranty registration.<\/p>\n

      The goal of the E.U. in requiring Digital Product Passports is to provide transparency and traceability of products through their value chain, and for this transparency to aid in the E.U.’s transition to a circular economy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

      Each physical product – for example, an article of clothing, a car battery – would have it’s own unique Digital Product Passport with information that is associated to it at the batch and unit level. A passport identifies a product uniquely, even if there are millions of similar products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n \n \"DPP\n <\/picture>\n <\/figure>\n\n

      Supply chains are complex and there are often significant differences between one batch of goods to another. With unique identification down to the unit level made possible by a Digital Product Passport, it becomes more feasible for regulators to ensure that all goods being sold in the E.U. comply with forthcoming regulations related to circular economy and sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n \n Benefits of implementing Digital Product Passports\n <\/h3>\n\n\n

      According to the Proposal for Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation<\/a>, The Implementation of Digital Product Passports is designed to increase<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
