How to implement a Digital Product Passport (DPP)

Implementing a DPP starts with understanding your product data, where it lives, how it's structured, and who needs access to it.

Implementing a Digital Product Passport starts with understanding your product data, where it lives, how it's structured, and who needs access to it.

Here's a practical roadmap for manufacturers:

  1. Map your data sources. Identify where sustainability, material, and production data sit (ERP, PLM, QA systems, supplier portals).
  2. Standardise data formats. The EU DPP requires structured, machine-readable information.
  3. Assign unique identifiers. Each product or batch needs a persistent QR, NFC or RFID tag.
  4. Create the digital record. Connect each identifier to a verified digital profile that can store lifecycle data.
  5. Automate updates. Build data flows so the passport updates when production, certification, or material data changes.

With TraceID.io, these steps are built into one process. We turn fragmented data into active, shareable product identities that meet EU requirements, without adding manual workload.
