What is a Digital Product Passport?
A Digital Product Passport is essentially a digital twin of a physical product that contains all relevant information about its lifecycle. This includes data from production, through usage, to recycling and disposal. The DPP is accessible via a QR code or similar technology and is maintained in a secure database. Its purpose is to enhance transparency, enable better product tracking, improve compliance with regulations, and facilitate recycling and circular economy initiatives.
Benefits for Electronics and Electrical Manufacturers
#1
Regulatory Compliance
With regulations increasingly focusing on sustainability and right-to-repair laws, DPPs help manufacturers comply with such requirements more easily. They provide clear, accessible data that can prove compliance with environmental standards and other regulations.
#2
Enhanced Product Lifecycle Management
By having detailed data about each stage of a product’s lifecycle, manufacturers can improve their processes for efficiency and sustainability. This includes better management of resources, optimisation of production processes, and improved waste management.
#3
Facilitation of the Circular Economy
DPPs support the circular economy by making it easier to reuse and recycle parts and materials. Manufacturers can use the information in a DPP to facilitate product returns, refurbishment, and recycling, reducing environmental impact and costs.
