Our comprehensive approach ensures not only the secure handling and sharing of data but also guarantees the seamless integration of cutting-edge authentication and traceability features.
What is it?
Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured collection of product related data with pre-defined scope and agreed data management and access rights conveyed through a unique identifier and that is accessible via electronic means through a data carrier. The intended scope of the DPP is information related to sustainability, circularity, value retention for re-use, re-manufacturing, and recycling.
The DPP’s goals include:
- Enhancing sustainable production.
