Get Your Business Ready for the Digital Product Passport Era

As part of the European Green Deal, most products sold in the EU will require a Digital Product Passport — a standardized digital record capturing materials, sustainability, and lifecycle data to ensure transparency and circularity. DataArt helps design and implement end-to-end DPP solutions — from building a reliable data foundation and integrating fragmented systems to ensuring compliance and lifecycle traceability.

Key Facts about DPP

While the final technical details of the EU Digital Product Passport are still being defined, the key compliance requirements and strategic implications are already clear. Companies that begin preparing now will avoid rushed, costly compliance later.

The clock is ticking

DPP will become mandatory between 2026 and 2027 for key sectors such as batteries, textiles, and electronics, with additional industries to follow

Compliance requires deep data work

To meet the new requirements, businesses must develop strong capabilities in data collection, validation, integration, and traceability. This includes gathering and structuring product-specific information across the entire value chain

It is not just a compliance burden

Adoption of DPP brings a competitive edge through enabling new revenue channels, better supply chain visibility, data-driven decisions, simplified ESG reporting, and stronger market trust.

Challenges You May Face

Upstream Data

Complex, multi-actor supply chains lack unified digital infrastructure
Inconsistent or incomplete material and process data
Difficulty linking external certifications and sustainability attributes

Customization

DPP schemas vary across product categories and regulations
High effort to map attributes across diverse product lines and systems
Lack of internal ownership for schema management and data governance

Usage Data

Limited access to product performance and lifecycle events
No standardized way to update DPP after resale, repair, or reuse
Data ownership issues across business and consumer touchpoints

Data Handovers

Fragmented systems between manufacturers, resellers, recyclers
No shared framework for version control, ownership, and responsibility
Inconsistent data exchange formats across actors
