The EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) is one of the key tools driving Europe's shift to a circular economy. It's part of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, which makes sustainability a design requirement rather than an afterthought.
Each DPP acts as a verified digital record that travels with a product throughout its entire lifecycle. It holds essential data, from materials and chemical composition to carbon footprint, repairability, and recycling options. That data is accessible through a physical link such as a QR code or RFID tag.
This transparency transforms how we design, use and dispose of products:
- For manufacturers, it supports better resource planning and compliance reporting.
- For recyclers, it provides instant insight into material content.
- For consumers, it encourages repair and reuse over replacement.
By giving every product a persistent digital identity, the DPP enables circularity in practice, helping materials stay in circulation for longer, reducing waste and emissions.
At TraceID.io, we connect each item's unique QR or RFID tag to a secure digital record. This means lifecycle data can be automatically updated, verified, and shared across the supply chain, supporting compliance, reuse, and recycling.
