Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital record that provides key information about a product throughout its entire lifecycle. It enables tracking of origin, materials, production processes, sustainability, and environmental impact, increasing transparency and trust in the product. The Digital Product Passport facilitates recycling, reuse, and regulatory compliance, supporting sustainable and responsible business practices.
The Digital Product Passport is important because it promotes transparency, traceability, and sustainability in product manufacturing and consumption, helping to minimize environmental impact and improve resource management.
The Digital Product Passport contains information about the product's origin, materials, production processes, carbon footprint, and end-of-life options such as recycling or reuse.
It contributes to sustainability by promoting responsible sourcing, reducing waste, improving recycling rates, and providing data for better decision-making in product design and life-cycle management.
The responsibility for creating and updating the Digital Product Passport (DPP) primarily lies with the manufacturer or distributor of the product. However, in certain cases, other stakeholders, such as regulatory bodies or certification organizations, may also be involved to ensure the accuracy and compliance of the data.
Consumers benefit from greater transparency about the products they purchase, including information on their environmental impact, safety, and how to properly recycle or dispose of them.
It helps ensure products meet environmental regulations and industry standards by providing documented evidence of compliance with waste management, recycling, and sustainability guidelines.
It improves supply chain transparency by providing real-time data about materials, production practices, and product sustainability, allowing companies to make informed decisions about sourcing and manufacturing processes.
It is likely that regulations will require an increasing number of products to have a Digital Product Passport, especially in industries focused on sustainability and circular economy practices, though timelines for this are still evolving.
