The European Union is introducing Digital Product Passports (DPPs) to drive sustainability, circularity, and transparency across industries. Every sector, from electronics to textiles to construction, must rethink how products are made, used, and reused.
Although the goal remains the same, the path looks different for each industry. Different materials, production processes, and data challenges require a flexible and tailored DPP framework. Accordingly, the European Commission has designed DPPs to adapt to the needs of each sector.
What every industry needs to know
Starting in 2026, DPPs will become mandatory for products in several major sectors, including batteries, textiles, and electronics. Other industries, such as furniture, construction materials, and automotive, will soon follow. As a result, manufacturers, importers, and retailers must rethink how they gather, structure, and share product data across the entire lifecycle.
