Digital product passport (DPP)

DNV supports companies in creating Digital product passports that ensure compliance, improve transparency, traceability, and enable circularity across complex supply chains.

Digital product passport (DPP)

Supporting transparency and circularity in complex value chains 

As sustainability regulations tighten and the EU’s Green Deal progresses, industries are facing new demands for transparency, traceability, and circular economy readiness. The Digital product passport (DPP) will soon become a key requirement across multiple sectors, including textiles, electronics, and batteries, under the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). The DPP aims to provide standardized product information throughout the value chain, supporting repairability, recycling, reuse, and responsible sourcing. 

For companies, the transition to digital product data is not only about compliance, but also about future-proofing products, enabling circular business models, building stakeholder trust, and supporting innovation in sustainable design and operations.

  • Understand and interpret DPP and ESPR requirements relevant to your sector. 
  • Identify and organize Key Data Elements (KDEs) for traceability and lifecycle visibility. 
  • Develop governance structures for data quality and sharing. 
  • Support digital systems integration and interoperability to host and share DPPs. 
  • Validate and verify DPP data integrity and completeness. 
  • Prepare for upcoming EU deadlines and industry mandates.
