Your path to successfully implementing the Digital Product Passport based on the Ecodesign of Sustainable Products Regulation
The 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 Digital Product Passport (DPP) brings all key product information together in one place: from material composition, carbon footprint, and recycled content to repairability and certifications like CE or RoHS.
It also covers details such as product lifespan, disposal, and recycling guidance. The goal: a transparent, standardized, and easily accessible data foundation that allows everyone, from authorities to customers, to verify sustainability, compliance, and environmental impact.
By meeting DPP requirements, your company not only ensures EU compliance but also strengthens 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.
