Digital Product Passport (DPP)
Definition
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital document containing standardized information about a product, such as materials, origin, and repair or recycling data, linked to a unique identifier such as a QR code. The EU is gradually rolling out the DPP as part of sustainability regulation.
A digital passport per product
Instead of putting product information only on a technical data sheet, a DPP links that data directly to the product itself, retrievable via a code on the packaging or the device.
Why this starts with product data
A DPP requires structured, up-to-date product data: materials, certificates, origin. Companies that already manage their product information centrally through a PIM are in a stronger position than those keeping it scattered across spreadsheets.
Practical example
A building materials manufacturer links certificates and material data to every product in its PIM, so that information is automatically available later for a digital product passport.
