Policymakers require reliable, standardized information to track products across their entire lifecycle-from supply chains and usage to repair and end-of-life handling. By making DPPs mandatory, the EU aims to improve transparency, strengthen regulatory compliance, and enable better decision-making for businesses, authorities, and consumers alike.

In simple terms, a Digital Product Passport (DPP) acts as a digital identity for a product. It also creates a consistent way to share verified product data across the entire value chain, from manufacturers to regulators and end users. By improving transparency and traceability, a DPP helps companies meet regulatory requirements while enabling more sustainable and circular product practices.
