DPP Manufacturing Compliance Supply Chain

In manufacturing, a Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured digital record linked to a specific product or batch. It's designed to make product information traceable, comparable and verifiable across its entire lifecycle.

Under the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, DPPs will soon become mandatory for many categories, including textiles, electronics, batteries, and more. Each passport captures details such as:

  • Source of raw materials
  • Manufacturing processes
  • Repairability and maintenance data
  • End-of-life and recycling instructions

This marks a shift from one-off sustainability reports to continuous data-driven compliance.

Manufacturers that adopt DPP systems early will not only stay ahead of regulation but gain full visibility across their supply chains.

TraceID.io enables this by connecting manufacturing and supplier data directly into digital passports that update automatically, without manual intervention.
