A proof of concept of how to deploy the Digital Product Passport across the value chain

Imposed by announced EU legislation, organizations are increasingly expected to report on how a product is made and used throughout its lifecycle, by tracking such information in a Digital Product Passport (DPP) – a standardized digital document that contains extensive information about the composition, production, use, and recycling of a product. Compliance to this legislation is compulsory and therefore inevitable.

The purpose of a DPP is to improve the sustainability and transparency of products by providing detailed data throughout the entire lifecycle of a product. This helps organizations make better-informed decisions and achieve their sustainability goals.

The DPP provides insights into:
1. How products can be reused at the end of their lifecycle: recycling, reusing, repairing, etc.
2. Insight into the circular economy, enabling policymakers to create effective and targeted policies.
