How Valpak can help

Digital Product Passports require more than technology. Success depends on understanding regulations, gathering the right product data and putting appropriate processes in place. Valpak combines regulatory expertise, data management capability and sustainability knowledge to help businesses prepare with confidence.

Prepare for future Digital Product Passport requirements

Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are expected to play an increasingly important role in how product information is shared across the value chain. As product transparency requirements grow, businesses need to understand what information they hold today and what may be required in future.

Valpak helps organisations prepare by combining regulatory expertise, product data knowledge and practical compliance support.

Product data

Improve data quality and consistency.

Circularity

Support sustainability objectives.

Traceability

Increase visibility across supply chains.

Compliance

Prepare for future requirements.

What are Digital Product Passports?

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital record linked to a product through a QR code
or similar identifier. It stores standardised information that can be accessed by different
stakeholders, including consumers, businesses, recyclers and regulators.

Digital Product Passports help information travel with a product throughout its lifecycle,
supporting transparency, traceability, sustainability and compliance.

Information that follows a product through its lifecycle

Raw materials
→
Manufacturing
→
Distribution
→
Use & repair
→
Reuse & recycling

Product composition

Information about materials, components and product characteristics.

Durability and repairability

Details that support maintenance, repair and product longevity.

Sustainability information

Data relating to environmental performance and circular economy objectives.

Traceability & compliance

Information that may support regulatory, reporting and product compliance requirements.

Is your business likely to be affected?

While implementation will be phased, organisations placing products on the EU market
should begin considering how Digital Product Passports could affect their operations.
If your business manufactures, imports, distributes or sells products, it may be
impacted by future Digital Product Passport requirements.

Manufacturers

Producing products for the EU market.

Brand owners

Responsible for products placed on the market.

Retailers

Selling products directly to consumers.

Importers & distributors

Moving products through international supply chains.

Sectors expected to be affected first

Current regulatory developments indicate that several product categories may be
required to introduce Digital Product Passports as requirements are phased in.


Batteries


Textiles


Electronics

How to prepare for Digital Product Passports

While product-specific requirements continue to evolve, there are practical steps businesses can take now to prepare. Starting early can help identify risks, improve product data and support future compliance requirements.

Step 1

Understand potential obligations

Review how Digital Product Passports and related legislation could apply to your products and markets

Step 2

Review existing product information

Assess what product data is already available and where information may be missing.

Step 3

Identify data gaps

Determine which suppliers, systems and business processes need to contribute information.

Step 4

Build a roadmap

Develop a plan that aligns data, compliance and operational requirements.

Links with ESPR, PPWR and related legislation

Digital Product Passports sit within a broader product sustainability and circular economy framework. While the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) provides the foundation for many future DPP requirements, businesses may also need to consider how DPPs interact with other compliance, reporting and sustainability obligations.

They may. Businesses placing products on the EU market should monitor developments closely, regardless of where they are based.

Even though product-specific requirements continue to evolve, businesses can benefit from reviewing product data, identifying supply chain information gaps and understanding potential obligations before requirements become mandatory.

Implementation is expected to be phased through product-specific legislation. Timescales will vary depending on the product category. Current plans indicate batteries will be among the first product groups requiring mandatory Digital Product Passports, with additional sectors expected to follow.

Requirements will vary by product category but may include information relating to product materials, origin, repairability, environmental performance, compliance and end-of-life management.

The most effective first step is often to understand potential obligations, review existing product data and begin identifying gaps within your supply chain and internal systems.
