Digital Product Passport (DPP)

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) creates transparency regarding the origin, materials, and lifecycle of products. It supports the circular economy, promotes recycling, and enables both businesses and consumers to make informed decisions. The European Union is advancing sustainable production processes and supply chain transparency with new directives. From 2027, the DPP will be mandatory for numerous industries, including the railway, defense, automotive, medical, battery, retail, and electronics sectors. In the future, companies will have to digitally provide comprehensive product information to meet legal requirements and remain competitive. As an experienced partner for RFID hardware system solutions, we support you in implementing your Digital Product Passports.

EU Regulations and Legal Aspects

Everything in Order

The introduction of the Digital Product Passport is a central measure by the European Union to promote sustainable production and transparent supply chains. The first mandatory DPPs will be introduced for batteries, textiles, and electronic devices. In the coming years, the regulation will be gradually extended to other product groups.
Companies should prepare early to meet legal requirements and secure competitive advantages.

EU Green Deal:

Aims to make Europe climate-neutral by 2050 and calls for more sustainable production and consumption processes

Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR):

Defines requirements for sustainability, material efficiency, and the circular economy

Battery Regulation (Battery Regulation 2023/1542):

Obliges battery manufacturers to introduce a DPP

Critical Raw Materials Act:

Ensures greater transparency regarding used materials and their origin

Transparency & Sustainability

The DPP is a key instrument for a sustainable economy. It provides detailed information on materials, recyclability, and origin, enabling traceability along the entire supply chain. Companies benefit from structured data management that not only helps comply with regulatory requirements such as the EU Green Deal and the Ecodesign Regulation but also minimizes supply chain fraud. At the same time, the DPP enables consumers to make informed purchasing decisions and strengthens trust in sustainable products.

Technical Implementation of the Digital Product Passport

The introduction of the DPP is based on modern technologies for storing and retrieving product information:

  • QR codes & Barcodes: Printed on the product or packaging for easy identification.
  • RFID & NFC: Electronic memory chips enable contactless data retrieval.
  • Blockchain technology: Tamper-proof storage of sensitive product information.
  • Cloud databases: Centralized management and flexible data updates.

To ensure the DPP can be used uniformly across industries, standardized data formats and interfaces are employed:

  • EPCIS (Electronic Product Code Information Services): Industry standard for supply chain traceability.
  • GS1 Digital Link: Links physical products with digital information.
  • ISO 14083: Uniform calculation and documentation of CO₂ emissions for improved environmental balance.

Thanks to these technologies, the DPP is efficiently implemented and enables seamless integration into existing business processes.

Our Solution for Future-Proof Identification with RFID & NFC

The Digital Product Passport is becoming a central requirement for sustainable supply chains and transparent product information. With our RFID Dual-Tags (UHF & NFC) and the PENsolid PRO, we offer a powerful solution to label products in a GS1-compliant manner and manage them efficiently.

Our dual tags enable contactless identification via RFID or NFC, allowing products to be uniquely tracked throughout their entire lifecycle. In combination with our PENsolid PRO UHF and the associated EPC Programmer App for Android, SGTIN, GIAI, and Digital Links can be easily and standard-compliantly written to a transponder.

Companies benefit from optimized product labeling, while consumers and partners can access relevant product information at any time – whether for traceability, repair, or recycling. Thanks to UHF technology, products can be read quickly in large quantities, while NFC enables direct interaction via smartphone. This combination makes our solution ideal for industry, logistics, and retail. The robust design of our transponders also ensures high durability – even in demanding environments.
