The Digital Product Passport (DPP) just took a major step forward. Under the Eco-design for
Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the EU has confirmed that the DPP framework is now
moving into active implementation not planning.
Earlier this month, the European Commission released the first official working plan for 2025–2030,
outlining which product categories will be prioritized and when mandatory compliance will begin.
The roadmap signals the transition from policy to execution with industries such as batteries,
textiles, furniture, electronics, plastics, and machinery expected to enter compliance phases first.
DPP is no longer a future concept. It is now a regulated timeline.
This marks a turning point for manufacturers, exporters, and supply-chain networks across Europe
and beyond as traceability, transparency, and lifecycle data become mandatory requirements for
market access.
The countdown has begun.
Companies now have limited time to align systems, digital infrastructure, suppliers, and lifecycle
reporting to meet new compliance expectations.
The EU isn’t experimenting – it’s executing.
