Digital Product Passports will revolutionize the way consumers and regulators interact with products on the European market. In this Expert Analysis, Daniela Michaelis, Material Compliance Specialist at 3E, looks at what digital product passports are and how they will contribute to a sustainable economy.

While many people might not have heard of digital product passports (DPP), the European Union (EU) is planning to use them to give consumers and regulators unprecedented insights into the origins of products and product components on the European market.

The new Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) is set to replace the existing Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC. Like the Ecodesign Directive, ESPR serves as a framework to ensure that the new requirements apply directly in all EU member states.

DPPs are a key innovation within ESPR. They will ensure the exchange of information between economic actors along the value chain in line with the sustainability objectives of ESPR, which contributes to the EU’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
