Digital Product Passports for Traceability

With the ability to include not just material, manufacture, and sourcing information, but post-purchase information such as events in a product’s lifecycle or triggers for recycling and disposal; DPPs offer true cradle-to-grave traceability.

DPPs provide digital records that can showcase material origins and provenance at an individual item level. They can be more durable, accessible and granular than traditional labels that suffer from limited space, while offering verifiable proof of provenance.

DPPs consolidate product data across the full lifecycle — from raw materials and manufacturing to use, repair, resale, and end-of-life. This creates a detailed, continuously updated product record that supports sustainability reporting, and circularity.

By capturing real-time, verifiable data related to individual product’s lifecycles (even beyond sale), DPPs provide detailed and transparent audit trails of a product, accessible by brands, retailers, customers and regulators.
