The DPP in Resale and Second-Hand Markets
The biggest friction in second-hand is uncertainty. That is exactly what a passport removes.
Digital Product Passport
The Future of the DPP and Competitive Advantage
Those who see the DPP only as a burden miss the opportunity. We explore the passport's potential to become a competitive and marketing asset.
Automotive
ELV: The End-of-Life Vehicles Regime and the DPP
A vehicle's end begins in its design. The ELV regime makes that measurable through material data.
Repairability
The Right to Repair Directive and the DPP
Repair is now a right — which means spare part and repair information becomes publishable data.
Life Cycle Assessment
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Basics
LCA measures a product's cradle-to-grave environmental impact. We simplify the method behind the DPP's carbon and environmental data.
Electronics
DPP for Electronic Products
In electronics the DPP intertwines with the right to repair and critical-raw-material transparency. We cover the data the passport carries here.
Tyre
Tyre DPP Requirements
Tyres are a demanding product: the carrier must stay readable for years. We cover the data a tyre DPP needs and the marking challenges.
Furniture
The Digital Product Passport for Furniture
Furniture is where ESPR's durability and disassembly criteria will be most visible — and most measurable.
Battery
The Battery Passport (EU Battery Regulation)
The battery passport is the earliest DPP to take effect. We examine this obligation, which arrives under a separate regulation, and its scope.
Aluminium
The Digital Product Passport for Aluminium
Carbon intensity in aluminium can differ by an order of magnitude. That is why route and energy data matter more than a single number.
Textile
The DPP for Footwear
Not in the first wave, but not off the hook either. Complex material structures and the timeline ahead.
Textile
Textile DPP: A Guide for Apparel Exporters
Textiles are ESPR's priority group. We walk apparel exporters step by step through the data needed to prepare a passport.
Textile
Textile DPP Data Points: The JRC Proposal
The JRC study and the Swedish pilot point the same way: around 126 candidate fields, of which 25–30 are shown on scan.
Circularity
Circularity and Recyclability Data
The passport's real purpose is to make circularity measurable. We explain why repair, disassembly and recycling data sit at its centre.
Circularity
How to Prove Recycled Content
Saying "30% recycled" is easy; proving it is not. Chain-of-custody models and what evidence belongs in the passport.
ESPR
The Ban on Destroying Unsold Textiles and Footwear
In force for large companies since 19 July 2026, the ban directly reshapes stock management in textiles and footwear.
ESPR
ESPR Ecodesign Performance Requirements
The passport is an information requirement; performance requirements change the product itself. How the two instruments differ and intersect.
Digital Product Passport
Which Data Fields Are Mandatory in a DPP?
Passport content varies by product group, but the core headings repeat. Where each field comes from — and who can actually supply it.
