Your path to successfully implementing the Digital Product Passport based on the Ecodesign of Sustainable Products Regulation
Download Full ReportThe Digital Product Passport (DPP) will become mandatory for a wide range of physical products sold in the European Union starting in 2027. The first delegated EU regulations, developed in 2025 and 2026, will define DPP requirements for prioritized product groups. These include: Batteries (DPP required from February 2027), Textiles, Electronic devices, Steel, iron and aluminum products, Detergents and cleaning products, Paints and coatings, Tires, Furniture, Shoes and footwear and communication technology. The DPP will document key information about a product’s lifecycle, material composition, sustainability, and compliance with EU regulations. By 2027, companies selling these products in the EU must implement the Digital Product Passport to ensure transparency, traceability, and compliance with the new EU Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR).
The DPP requires the centralized documentation of a wide range of product data, including material composition, the product’s carbon footprint, recycled content, reparability information, and proof of conformity such as CE or RoHS certifications. Additionally, companies must disclose important details about the product’s service life and provide clear instructions for proper disposal and recycling. The main objective of the Digital Product Passport is to create a transparent, standardized, and easily accessible data foundation that enables authorities, customers, and supply chain partners to verify sustainability, compliance, and the environmental impact of every regulated product. By meeting these requirements, your company will not only ensure compliance with EU regulations but also foster greater trust and transparency across the entire product lifecycle.

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital information system that provides product-specific data such as materials, reparability, carbon footprint, and recyclability throughout the entire product lifecycle. It is a key tool in the EU’s sustainable product strategy.
Initial product groups subject to the DPP obligation include batteries, textiles, electronic devices, and construction materials like steel. The list will expand over time under the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).
Companies benefit from the DPP through increased transparency, simplified compliance with EU regulations, and optimized supply chain processes. It also supports ESG goals and boosts competitiveness.
The DPP is based on interoperable data standards such as the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) and is typically accessed via machine-readable QR codes or NFC tags. Data is stored in a standardized format to enable automated processing.
Typical contents of the DPP include: material composition, CO₂ emissions, origin of raw materials, repair instructions, recycling information, and certifications.
The DPP supports the circular economy by enabling transparent tracking of materials, improved product reparability, and more efficient recycling processes.
