Materials and origins
Connect material and component information with the stages of sourcing and production.
Digital Product Passport
Where every product tells its story.
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) connects a physical product with digital information about its materials, origins and lifecycle. It is part of the EU's wider move toward more transparent and circular products.
Learn how it works
The idea in brief
What is a Digital Product Passport?
A DPP is a set of product-specific data that can be accessed electronically through a data carrier, such as a QR code. The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation sets the framework; applicable product-specific rules define which information a passport must contain and who can access it.

Across the product journey
Information that can make products easier to understand.
The exact data depends on the applicable rules for a product group. These themes show how better product information can support decisions across the value chain.
Environmental information
Make relevant sustainability information easier to find and assess where required.
Repair and circularity
Help people who repair, reuse or recycle a product find useful lifecycle details.
Access and verification
Give the appropriate audiences access to product data according to the rules that apply.
From making to next use
A connected view of the product lifecycle.
For apparel, the journey can begin with fibers and fabrics, continue through manufacturing and use, and extend to repair, reuse and recovery. A DPP is designed to keep relevant product information connected to that journey.
