What is the digital product passport?

The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) by the European Union mandates the use of Digital Product Passports (DPP) in consumer goods to direct the market toward a circular economy. DPPs empower consumers to make informed, sustainable choices and encourage responsible production across EU markets. These passports provide regulators and consumers with easy access to granular information about a product’s lifecycle.

 

More than a consumer app

While the consumer-facing QR code and app is part of the requirement, it’s only the visible tip of the iceberg. The real challenge lies beneath the surface: building a data system that collects, standardizes, and connects product data across the full lifecycle, ensuring interoperability, accessibility, and traceability.

Your Path to Digital Product Passport Readiness Starts Here

Preparing for DPP compliance means more than preparing for a regulation—it means preparing your business for a data-driven, interoperable future. Below, we’ve outlined the core requirements that will define compliance readiness for every brand. Understanding and addressing these early will help you build the foundation for scalable traceability, reliable product data, and future-proof interoperability.

Product Data

Product data within a Digital Product Passport reveals how your product, down to the individual item in each SKU, is made. It must capture supply chain disclosures, chemical safety ratings, and sustainability risk insights. Throughout the product’s lifecycle, data is continuously contributed by the individual or organization in custody of the item, ensuring each data input is verified and traceable information.

Product Lifecycle Details

Collect compliance and lifecycle data specific to the item with TrusTrace, including chemical safety, microplastics shedding and value processes.

Environmental Footprint

Continuous calculation of environmental footprint and risks using live supply chain data in TrusTrace or via a third partner to our data hub.

Standardized Data

Structure all data according to ESPR standards designed for cross-system compatibility.

Data System

DPP compliance requires a system that can collect, link, and share product data securely across multiple stakeholders. TrusTrace provides a scalable data infrastructure designed to evolve as the regulation takes shape, built on the core requirements: interoperability, automation, and data reliability.

Interoperable Architecture

The resolvers point to the right locations of data across multiple systems so that consumer interfaces can fetch the right data via APIs. 

Live DPP Data

DPP data can be shared, updated, and verified in real time through secure, standardized APIs.

Product Data Repository

Centralize brand-owned product data in standardized formats. Connect the repository with the interoperable system for seamless verification and secure access.

Unique Product ID

Unique Product ID Generation assigns each item traced on the TrusTrace platform with a tokenized digital identity linked to its DPP data. Each ID links to persistent data carriers or other data sources to ensure the appropriate role-based access to the DPP data. Our solution ensures easy connectivity and data continuity throughout the product lifecycle.

Unique IDs at Scale

Assign unique item identifiers (such as GTINs or SKUs) to each product, size, and color variant at any scale.

Automated Connectivity

Automated connectivity between each unique product ID and product data platforms to deliver live DPP data updates.

Persistent Data Carrier

No Digital Product Passport implementation is complete without a persistent data carrier. TrusTrace provides permanent, unique QR codes for each item, making product information accessible to consumers. Our DPP solution includes a consumer-facing interface and integration options with existing systems, giving you control over the consumer experience across every digital touchpoint.

QR Code Scalability

Generate QR codes that link directly to each unique product ID and its product data at scale.

Clean Consumer Interface

A clean and standardized consumer interface for sharing DPP data at points of purchase, care, or repair.

Compliant by Design

Follows GS1 digital linking standards and emerging DPP protocols, ensuring your DPP implementation remains fully compliant and ready for what's next.
