Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is a Digital Product Passport (DPP)?
A Digital Product Passport is a structured digital record that holds essential information about a product’s lifecycle from its raw materials and production to repair, recycling, and disposal. It helps everyone involved, from manufacturers to consumers, understand where the product came from, how it was made, and how sustainable it is.
2. Why do manufacturers need a Digital Product Passport?
Manufacturers are under growing pressure to prove their sustainability claims, comply with new regulations (especially in the EU), and be more transparent with customers. A Digital Product Passport helps you do all of that. It also helps improve supply chain traceability, reduce waste, and enhance customer trust.
3. What kind of data does a Digital Product Passport include?
A DPP can include a wide range of information, such as
- Material composition
- Origin of raw materials
- Manufacturing process details
- Environmental impact (carbon footprint)
- Certifications and compliance standards
- Repairability and recyclability data
- Packaging and end-of-life handling
All of this is accessible through a digital code (like a QR code) embedded on the product or packaging.
