The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a powerful tool that tracks a product’s entire lifecycle. It includes details like where the product comes from, how it’s made, and its environmental impact. DPP gives consumers clear information to make better choices and helps businesses prove their commitment to sustainability while improving supply chains.
First, you start of with collecting data. Gather details about the product, such as material sources, production methods, and environmental effects. Next, you use blockchain technology to securely store this data so it’s tamper-proof and accessible. Add QR codes, barcodes, or RFID tags to products. These codes let consumers access the DPP using their smartphones. When scanned, the QR code shows information about the product’s lifecycle, including how to recycle it. Add updates, like repair records or recycling details, to ensure the DPP stays accurate and relevant.
The European Union plans to require Digital Product Passports by this year, 2025. This regulation means products sold in the EU must have detailed digital records of their lifecycle. It’s part of the EU’s big push for sustainability through the European Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP).
DPPs will first be used in these key markets:
Food, consumer electronics, and packaging
Construction and textiles
Electric and industrial vehicle batteries
Other regions are expected to follow, as the benefits of DPPs become clear: more transparency, stronger consumer trust, and better sustainability practices.
As consumers start to expect more, businesses must evolve. The DPP offers several key benefits that can help you enhance your online store. It can help you boost transparency so you can earn trust by sharing verified product information. Next, you can show your commitment in reducing environmental impact and improve your operations. Lastly, you are able to create more engagement when offering a better, more interactive customer experience that builds loyalty.
