What is a
Digital Product
Passport
A DPP is the digital representation
of a physical product
A Digital Product Passport (DPP), also called Digital ID or Digital Twin, can contain information about a product, from upstream supply chain data such as materials used, energy consumption, carbon footprint all the way to the downstream value chain such as care, repair, recycling instructions, or resale value.
DPPs
are commonly accessed by scanning
a QR code, NFC chip or RFID tag.
These are called ‘data carriers’.
New types of data carriers continue to emerge, such as digital threads.
DPP users
Many stakeholders can access the information contained in a DPP:
consumers, manufacturers, regulatory bodies, circularity service providers - facilitating transparency, accountability and circular economy.

In December 2023, the European Commission and the European Parliament reached a provisional agreement on incorporating Digital Product Passports into the updated legislation to facilitate the changes required by the upcoming new law
DPPs will be mandatory on textiles sold in Europe by 2030
and other product categories as early as 2025
