EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) – Ready for the Future of Product Information Management

The EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) is part of the European Union’s green transition strategy, aiming to increase transparency, support sustainable choices, and enhance data usage throughout the entire product lifecycle. For companies, this means a new way of managing and sharing product information – standardized and digital. Pimmix provides a platform that enables product passports to be built, managed, and automatically distributed to all required systems and stakeholders.

What is the Digital Product Passport (DPP)?

The Digital Product Passport is an electronic data package, grounded in the EU regulatory framework, that follows a product throughout its entire lifecycle. It enables visibility into a product’s origin, composition, repairability, recyclability, and other responsibility-related information — in a standardized, digital format.

The product passport typically includes:

Materials and chemical substances
Recyclability and repairability
Energy consumption and environmental impacts
Certificates and compliance information
Country of manufacture and supply chain traceability

Who will DPP be mandatory for?

The EU Digital Product Passport will be introduced in phases, starting with product groups that have the largest environmental impact. The first wave will include, among others:

Electronics and batteries
Textiles and garments
Construction products and building materials
Furniture

In the future, the DPP will cover almost all products, making systematic product information management a critical part of daily business.

When product data is accurate and easily shareable, a company can demonstrate responsibility, improve traceability, and streamline operations. Pimmix makes this process simple by providing a ready platform for building, managing, and distributing the DPP — automatically and without unnecessary hassle.
