The EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a cornerstone of the European Union’s sustainability initiatives under the Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan. This innovative framework aims to increase transparency and traceability across product lifecycles by digitally capturing critical information about materials, sustainability, and regulatory compliance.

This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the DPP’s scope, identifying the industries and stakeholders it impacts—ranging from consumer electronics to automotive and industrial equipment—and outlining the expected implementation timelines. Special attention will be given to its intersection with prohibited substance regulations such as REACH and RoHS, highlighting the DPP’s role in ensuring material compliance and fostering circularity.
As a service provider specializing in material compliance, we will discuss practical strategies for managing the challenges posed by the DPP, including the complexities of data collection, prohibited substance tracking, and adherence to EU sustainability standards.
