Frequently Asked Questions

What is a DPP again?

Alright, let's break this down—a DPP is basically like a digital ID card for your products. It's a central hub of information covering everything from where the materials came from to how to recycle them when you're done. 

It's a way for the EU to increase transparency and promote more sustainable practices across a wide range of industries. Although we don't know exactly what it will look like, we can assure you that it won't be a physical  "ID card." It will most likely take the form of a QR code, NFC chip, or RFID tag.

Do I really need one of these for my products?

If you're selling products in the EU market, then yes, you'll probably need to provide a DPP for those products. The new rules will apply to all kinds of products (with some exceptions, such as food and feed) on the EU market, regardless of whether they are made inside or outside the EU. This means that producers, resellers, and dealers need to start thinking about this. 

The EU has even specified the industries they will prioritize:

  • Iron, steel,  and aluminum
  • Textiles (garments and footwear)
  • Furniture (including mattresses)
  • tires, detergents, paints, lubricants
  • Chemicals, energy-related products (including new measures and revisions of existing ones) 
  • ICT products and other electronics

So, if you are making or selling any of these products in the EU, you must pay special attention to DPP updates.

How can I prepare?

While the final DPP details are still being decided, the EU has given us a preview of the required information.

So, the best thing you can do is start getting your ducks in a row. Get a PIM system like Plytix to centralize all your product data—descriptions, specs, images, certifications, and more. You can even use Plytix to build templates based on the current guidelines. That way, as they keep refining the rules, you can easily update your templates and stay on top of it.

What should the EU DPP cover?

Based on what’s been shared so far, for a Digital Product Passport to be compliant with the EU’s DPP data requirements, it should include:

  • A unique product identifier (UID) 
  • A global trade identification number as provided for in standard  ISO/IEC  or equivalent of products or their parts 
  • Relevant commodity codes (like the TARIC code)  
  • Compliance documentation, including declaration of conformity, technical documentation, and conformity certificates  
  • Requirements related to substances of concern 
  • User manuals, instructions, warnings, or safety information 
  • Information related to the manufacturer
  • Unique operator identifiers other than that of the manufacturer, in particular, responsible for product certification tasks
  • information related to the importer
  • Relevant information for consumers and end-users on how to install, use, maintain, and repair the product to minimize negative impact and ensure long-term durability. 
  • Relevant information for treatment facilities on disassembly, recycling, or disposal at end-of-life 
  • Other relevant information that may influence the way the product is handled by parties other than the manufacturer 

Bear in mind all of this could change but, don’t worry, we’ll keep you updated.

When will it come into force?

The ESPR regulation kicked off in 2024, but enforcement will be gradual. By 2030, digital passports will be required for most product categories.

In the meantime, key milestones include:

  • 2025: EU releases initial ESPR working plan with timelines
  • 2026: DPP will be mandatory for batteries

Stay in the Loop: Keep an eye on our blog—we'll be tracking all the DPP updates, so you don't have to.

Why is the EU even doing this?

The goal is to increase transparency, promote sustainability, and hold businesses accountable for their environmental impact. And hey, as a consumer, I'd sure appreciate knowing more about what I'm buying.

Plus, think about it—if you've got nothing to hide, a little transparency can actually help build trust with your customers. Win-win, if you ask us.

What happens if I don’t comply with it?

The EU is serious about this—they're talking about fines of up to $1,500 per violation. They could even ban you from selling your goods in the EU market altogether. Not exactly a risk worth taking.
