Frequently Asked Questions about the Digital Product Passport (DPP)
1. What is a Digital Product Passport (DPP)?
It is a digital tool that gathers key information about a product throughout its entire life cycle: from manufacturing to recycling. It is designed to improve the sustainability, traceability, and transparency of products marketed in the European Union.
2. What does a DPP physically present itself as?
The DPP is incorporated into the product via a QR code, RFID tag, or NFC chip, which can be located on the product, its packaging, or its documentation. Scanning it provides access to the recorded information.
3. What type of information does a DPP contain?
- Origin of materials and components
- Manufacturing data, model, batch
- Repairability index and repairs performed
- Carbon footprint and energy consumption
- Recycling or reuse instructions
- Ownership history (for resalable products)
4. Who is affected by the obligation to implement DPPs?
This applies to all companies that manufacture, import, sell, or distribute regulated products in the European market. This includes producers, distributors, retailers, and suppliers.
5. Which sectors should comply with the DPP first?
The first sectors required to be obligated are:
- Batteries (industrial and for electric vehicles)
- Textiles (clothing and footwear)
- Consumer electronics
- Construction products
- Others such as furniture, paints, detergents, lubricants, tires and chemicals
6. Is it mandatory only in the European Union?
Yes, but it affects every product sold in the European market, regardless of where it was manufactured. Therefore, it has a global reach for all companies that export to the EU.
7. What benefits does DPP bring to companies?
- Improved regulatory compliance
- Positioning as a sustainable brand
- Access to more demanding markets
- New business models (repair, resale, recycling)
- Transparency in the supply chain
8. And what about consumers?
- Greater confidence when buying sustainable products
- Clear information on repairability, recycling and materials
- Facilitates responsible purchasing decisions
- Increases the lifespan of products
9. How can a company implement the DPP?
1. Centralize product information
2. Collaborate with your suppliers
3. Incorporate technologies such as QR, RFID or blockchain
4. Automate data capture from your ERP or management systems
5. Ensure the protection of confidential information through encryption
10. What technologies are used to ensure data security?
Blockchain, RSA encryption, end-to-end encryption, and zero-knowledge proofs are used to protect data while remaining transparent.
11. What challenges does its adoption entail?
- Initial infrastructure and software costs
- Cultural adaptation in the supply chain
- Intellectual property protection
- Data management in multiple formats and standards
12. What strategic opportunities does the DPP offer?
- Differentiate yourself with verified sustainable products
- Open organic markets with higher standards
- Establish stronger relationships with end customers
- Become a leader in the change towards a circular economy
13. How does DPP contribute to sustainability?
By tracking the actual environmental impact of each product, it allows:
- Optimize ecological design
- Reduce waste
- Promote reuse and repair
- Promote responsible labor practices and materials
14. When does the DPP begin to be applied?
The regulation came into force in 2024. The implementation schedule is phased in:
- 2026: batteries
- 2027–2030: textiles, electronics, construction and other categories
15. What happens if a company does not comply with the DPP?
In the future, failure to comply with the DPP could result in sanctions, loss of access to the European market or reputational damage, as it will be a key criterion of sustainability and transparency for consumers and authorities.
