Digital product passports – a requirement and an opportunity for manufacturers and retailers
Make your product data future-proof – with consulting, technology, and implementation from a single source.
Stefan Herold, Managing director
We actively shape transformation – with structured and digital product data.
Digital product passports
The digital product passport will be mandatory from 2026 onwards
From 2026, the digital product passport (DPP) will become mandatory in numerous industries. Manufacturers and retailers will then be legally obliged to provide comprehensive information about their products digitally – throughout their entire life cycle.
The digital product passport will become the basis for sustainability, transparency, and competitive advantages in the EU. Companies that act early will ensure compliance, avoid fines, and gain strategic advantages in the market.
What is the digital product passport?
The digital product passport is a structured, machine-readable data sheet that must be centrally accessible for each product. It contains information such as:
Material composition
CO₂ balance
Origin and supply chain
Repair and recycling instructions
Energy consumption, durability, safety data
Certificates and declarations of conformity
This information must be up-to-date, accessible, and interoperable at all times—for authorities, business partners, and end customers alike.
What happens if you don't act in time?
The consequences of missing or incomplete product passports are serious:
❌ Ban on placing your products on the market in the EU
⚠️ Fines for violating the EU Ecodesign Regulation
❗ Exclusion from sustainability-oriented supply chains
📉 Loss of reputation with partners and end customers
🔄 High cost of rectification if systems have to be adapted later
In short: Those who cannot provide structured and verified product data will be left behind.
