Digital Product Passport

Background

Starting in 2024, the European Union will implement a new regulation requiring nearly all products sold in the EU to feature a Digital Product Passport (DPP).
This initiative aims to enhance transparency and traceability throughout the product lifecycle, providing consumers with reliable information about a product's origin, materials, environmental impact, and disposal instructions. The DPP will help bridge the gap between consumer demands for transparency and the current lack of comprehensive product data.
