Digital Product Passport
A record that travels with a physical product and answers, verifiably: what is it made of, what did it cost the environment, can it be repaired, and what happens to it at the end of its life.
A Digital Product Passport is a structured, machine-readable record tied to an individual product or batch. A buyer reaches it by scanning a code; a regulator or recycler reads the same record through a standard interface.
It is a disclosure instrument. Its value comes from the data being complete, current and attributable — not from the technology used to store it.
That is why it is a supply-chain problem before it is a software one.
Two forces, pushing the same direction.
Regulation
The EU's ecodesign framework makes product-level digital disclosure a condition of selling into the market, phased in by product category — batteries, textiles, electronics and construction among the first.
If you sell into Europe, the question is not whether, but which category and when.
Market
Corporate procurement increasingly requires evidence, not assurances. "Sustainable" as a claim is worth little; "sustainable" as an auditable record changes who you can sell to.
Companies that can produce the record early stop competing on price alone.
The data does not exist in one place, and some of it is not yours.
First
Which of your products are in scope, under which category, and what specifically must be disclosed for each.
Then
Where each required field lives today, who owns it, how current it is, and which fields nobody can produce yet. This is usually the uncomfortable part.
Then
How the record is stored, made verifiable and kept current — and which infrastructure partner delivers it, chosen against your actual volume and product mix.
Tell us what you manufacture and which markets you sell into. That is enough for a first read on scope and timing.
