The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is often thought of as a collection of information to be added to the product: some environmental data, a few certifications, new fields to fill in.
In reality, its scope is much broader.
The DPP is neither a document to be attached nor a simple data container. It is a digital system that accompanies the product throughout its entire life cycle, from design to recycling.
In the video below, we look at the elements required to manage a Digital Product Passport.
For the DPP to function effectively, there are four key components.
- A connected supply chain.
- The presence of advanced digital systems.
- Clearly defined roles and differentiated access rights.
- Clear data governance.
When these elements are in place, the DPP is no longer merely a regulatory requirement, but becomes a practical tool for improving supply chain management.
It means having more reliable data, greater visibility into processes and a solid foundation for demonstrating traceability, sustainability and regulatory compliance.
