DPP

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a standardized digital record that accompanies a physical product throughout its lifecycle—from production to end-of-life. It stores essential product and value chain data to support:

• Circular economy goals
• Sustainability transparency
• EU regulatory compliance

If you’re working in the textile industry, the DPP will soon become a core requirement for accessing the EU market.

Under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the DPP will be mandatory for nearly all physical products placed in the EU market starting from selected product groups, including textiles, batteries, and electronics.

• Applies to all companies, regardless of size
• Without a DPP, products cannot be placed on the EU market
• Enforcement begins product-by-product from 2027 onward

Now is the time to prepare—especially if your business is based in the EU, part of complex supply chains or exports to the EU.

Each DPP contains structured, up-to-date data, including:

• Material composition and sourcing
• Manufacturing origin and technical performance
• Repairability, recyclability, and disposal guidance
• Environmental impacts across the lifecycle

Depending on your product type, the DPP may apply at the product, model, or batch level. Specific data requirements will be defined in delegated acts for each sector.

The issuer of the product—typically the manufacturer or importer—is ultimately responsible for assembling and publishing the Digital Product Passport (DPP). However, under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), this is not a task they can complete alone.

All relevant value chain actors are expected to contribute the data they generate or control, including:

• Material suppliers (e.g. fibre origin, chemical inputs)
• Component and packaging manufacturers
• Logistics and warehousing partners

The issuer must coordinate and compile this data to ensure the DPP is:

• Complete and compliant with product-specific requirements
• Backed up via a certified third-party service provider
• Accessible for the full lifecycle of the product

This shared responsibility model ensures accuracy, transparency, and traceability across the supply chain—core goals of the ESPR.

The Digital Product Passport isn’t just about compliance—it’s a way to make your business more efficient, transparent, and competitive.

Lower Compliance Costs

Avoid duplication by using a single dataset to meet DPP and other regulatory requirements.

Fewer manual steps, lower audit risk.

Optimize Your Supply Chain

Get full visibility into your suppliers and materials.
Identify cost drivers, reduce waste, and find efficiency gaps.

Unlock Trust and Customer Engagement—at Any Size

The DPP gives smaller companies access to tools once reserved for large brands: verified sustainability data, transparent sourcing, and direct product communication.

Use it to win the trust of buyers and end customers by sharing your product’s story—from origin to care to end-of-life.

Build loyalty and credibility through transparency—without needing a big IT team.

Turn Every Product into a Relationship

The Digital Product Passport gives you a new way to connect directly with customers—at the product level.

By embedding digital content like brand stories, usage tips, or loyalty incentives, you turn each scan into a chance to build trust, grow brand affinity, and attract new audiences.

It’s not just compliance—it’s a new channel for customer engagement, retention, and growth
