Question 1

What is the Digital Product Passport (DPP)?

Accepted Answer

It is a digital record of a product's lifecycle, required by the EU ESPR directive (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation). It gathers data on raw material origin, carbon footprint, repairability, and recycling. It is not just a label, but a database accessible by scanning a carrier (e.g., QR code) on the product.

Question 2

Does my company need to implement the Digital Product Passport?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you produce. Regulations come in waves (batteries now, textiles approx. 2027, furniture later). Remember, however, that if you supply components (B2B) to these industries, clients may require passport data much earlier. Check the forecast dates for your industry in the article: Schedule and Key Dates (2025–2030).

Question 3

Why is it worth implementing the DPP system earlier?

Accepted Answer

Companies that prepare their data before 2027 will gain a competitive advantage in B2B supply chains. Corporations are already looking for digitally transparent suppliers. It is also protection against implementation bottlenecks and acting in a rush, just before the regulations enter into force. See what the implementation process looks like step by step: Implementing DPP in 5 Steps.

Question 4

What are the penalties for not having a Digital Product Passport?

Accepted Answer

The consequences are twofold:

**Legal** - ban on placing the product on the EU market (customs and market inspections).

**Business** - falling out of the supply chain. Large corporations and retail chains will not buy goods from you without a passport because they won't be able to resell them.

Question 5

How to meet DPP legal requirements without an IT department?

Accepted Answer

That's why the GoDPP platform is being created. You don't need to build your own server or hire developers. Our platform will operate in a SaaS model – you log in via browser, choose your product category (e.g., "textiles") and fill out a ready-made form. The system will generate the QR code itself and ensure compliance with EU servers. 👉**Want to influence the system's shape?** Fill out a short survey.
