The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is one of the tools introduced by the European Union to make industrial supply chains more transparent and promote more sustainable production models.
In the video below, we look at what it is and why more and more companies are beginning to take an interest in this topic.
The Digital Product Passport is, essentially, a digital passport that accompanies the product throughout its life cycle and collects certain key pieces of information.
These include, for example:
- the origin of the materials,
- the production processes used,
- the associated environmental impacts,
- the certifications obtained,
- the methods of reuse, repair or recycling.
This data is organised in a structured digital format, readable by other systems and accessible via technologies such as QR codes or RFID tags.
In this way, the product can be accompanied by a shared information base throughout the supply chain, useful for companies, partners, regulatory bodies and, in some cases, even for consumers.
For many companies, this will primarily represent a new regulatory requirement.
At the same time, however, it can also become an opportunity to improve product data management and clarify information flows throughout the supply chain.
Understanding how the Digital Product Passport works now can therefore help businesses prepare in good time and assess how to integrate this tool into their systems and processes.
