What is a Digital Product Passport?

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is an electronic record containing key information about a product - from materials to recycling instructions. The EU is introducing it as part of its strategy for a sustainable and circular economy.

Why is the EU Introducing DPP?

New Standards

The EU is setting new standards for product information. DPP ensures your products meet these requirements.

Circular Economy

Information about materials enables proper recycling and extends product lifespan.

Fighting Fast Fashion

Transparency creates a barrier for low-quality products without clear origin.
