Digital product information that is reliable and interoperable is becoming increasingly important for global supply and value chains. The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is emerging as a key enabler of this development, supporting the digital exchange of product-related information across markets and sectors and opening the door to digital services beyond. To ensure that DPPs can function seamlessly on a global scale, international standards are essential.

The European Union has ambitious environmental objectives defined in its legislations. As the products brought on the European Single Market have a significant environmental impact, the European Union decided on a mandatory Digital Product Passport (DPP) to store the circularity data of products for various product groups. Since products brought on the European Single Market have a significant environmental impact, it is necessary to know the parameters of each product and to exchange circularity and sustainability information with all stakeholders.
