The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is not a website linked to a QR code, so what will it be?

In this video, Hans de Gier, co-founder of SyncForce and member of the Cirpass consortium, provides an in-depth overview of the EU Digital Product Passport (DPP). The DPP, part of the larger Eco-Design Sustainable Product Regulation (ESPR), aims to enhance sustainability and circularity across product lifecycles, create new business opportunities, ensure compliance with new regulations, and help consumers make informed purchasing decisions. Hans clarifies common misconceptions about the DPP, emphasizing that it is not just a dedicated product site linked to a QR code, but a federated system of technical data sets. He explains the DPP's four key objectives, the different levels of granularity (model, batch, and individual item), and the technical structure of the DPP. This video serves as an introduction to what we know about the DPP so far and highlights what is still under development. #EU #digitalproductpassport #DPP #sustainability #euregulations #ESPR #circularity #ecodesign #sustainableproductregulation #circulareconomy
