What are Digital Product Passports?

A Digital Product Passport (DPP), is a digital identity card for products, components, and materials, which will store relevant information to support products’ sustainability, promote their circularity and strengthen legal compliance.

EU Regulation

The Digital Product Passport is a regulation that is part of EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulations. Roll out of the regulation will be executed in phases covering different product categories. The first product categories need to be compliant by 2027.

Impacts products sold in EU

Every company that produce, or imports products to the European market, will have to produce DPP's to be compliant with the new regulation.

Increase transparency

This information will be accessible electronically, making it easier for consumers, manufacturers, and authorities to make more informed decisions related to sustainability, circularity and regulatory compliance.

Produce DPP's fast and cost effective

One of the biggest challenges for producing Digital Product Passports is that the required data is scattered in many different systems or spreadsheets. Those that have executed early pilots (without Occtoo) says that legacy systems hinders the unification of necessary data to the DPP. By using Occtoo you can easily combine data from many different sources and fuel it to your DPP website in real-time. By overcoming this challenge you will be able to develop DPP's not only fast but also cost effective. Occtoo is also able to hold data around your products on a very granular level (Product > Variant > SKU > Batch > Individual) that will be needed to build DPP's.

Example of data that is expected to be shared in the DPP (will be dependent on product category):

  • Basic product: Product name, make, model, batch number, manufacturing date, and warranty details.
  • Material data: Including origins of raw materials and components, plus the suppliers involved in sourcing.
  • Ownership data: Details on current and past owners (especially relevant for long-lasting products that can be sold and resold). 
  • Repair data: Information about the overall repairability of the product, plus specific repair events and reasons.
  • Sustainability data: Such as the carbon footprint of the manufacturing and distribution processes, as well as the use phase.

Display data from any source

Add data from any of your systems and sources. Easily launch and continuously develop your Digital Product Passport with new data points without hassle (the data requirements is expected to change over time)
