A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital record that provides comprehensive information about a product and its entire value chain. This includes everything from the origin of the product, materials used, environmental impact, and disposal recommendations. DPPs' main purpose is to close the gap between the transparency demanded by consumers, investors, and other stakeholders and the current lack of reliable data on product journeys. Because more and more people are demanding this type of information, the EU has introduced the DPP as a key component of the proposed Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which is set to be implemented in 2024. For a Digital Product Passport to be compliant with the EU’s DPP data requirements, it should or may include: A unique product identifier (UID) A global trade identification number as provided for in standard ISO/IEC or equivalent of products or their parts A TARIC code and other relevant commodity codes Compliance documentation, including declaration of conformity, technical documentation, and conformity certificates Requirements related to substances of concern User manuals, instructions, warnings, or safety information Relevant information related to the manufacturer, operators and importer Relevant information related to unique facility identifiers Relevant information for consumers and end-users on how to install, use, maintain, and repair the product to minimize negative impact and ensure long-term durability. Relevant information for consumers and end-users on how to return or dispose of the product at end-of-life Relevant information for treatment facilities on disassembly, recycling, or disposal at end-of-life Other relevant information that may influence the way the product is handled by parties other than the manufacturer Exactly what should be included in your product’s DPP depends on product type and will be specific to the ESPS’s delegated acts.
