Digital Product Passport Offering Want to stay marketable in Europe beyond 2026? Want your products to tell a verified sustainability story -- not just marketing claims? Want to unlock new business value through better product data? Get Your Business Ready for the Digital Product Passport Era As part of the European Green Deal -- the EU's plan to achieve climate neutrality and accelerate the shift to a circular economy -- almost every product sold within the European Union will be required to have a Digital Product Passport (DPP), a standardized digital record containing key data about the product's materials, production, sustainability, and lifecycle Key Facts about DPP 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 (DPP) 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 DPP is not just a compliance burden Adoption of DPP brings competitive edge through better supply chain visibility, datadriven decisions, simplified ESG reporting, and stronger market trust 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.
