Digital Product PassportDPP
The Digital Product Passport makes a product's sustainability and compliance data instantly accessible via a QR or data carrier. Textiles are first in line. Regonance compiles the data and publishes a passport.
The concrete categories in scope
Fashion & textile DTC brands (first wave) · manufacturers and importers of priority categories (batteries, then textiles, electronics, furniture) · agencies preparing client catalogues ahead of the 2027 delegated act.
What DPP obliges you to do
A unique product identifier + data carrier
Each product carries a QR, NFC tag or data-matrix linking to its passport, with the identifier registered in the EU's central DPP registry.
Mandated data fields
Durability, recyclability, recycled content, substances of concern, repairability and origin data — defined per the category delegated act.
Accessible, accurate, maintained
The passport must stay live, accurate and accessible to consumers, regulators and supply-chain actors throughout the product lifecycle.
Key dates and what they trigger
ESPR in force
Framework regulation entered into force across the EU 27.
EU DPP registry
Central registry of unique product identifiers established.
Textile delegated act
First mandatory textile DPPs as the textile delegated act enters into force.
Further categories
Batteries already in scope; electronics, furniture and more on the working plan.
From exposed to audit-ready
Six readiness checks Regonance turns from gap to source-traced for DPP.
What the platform does for DPP
Available on Growth, Pro and Agency.
Compile category-specific DPP fields
Source-traced material, durability, repairability and substance data — structured to the category delegated act.
Bind a data carrier and publish
QR / NFC / data-matrix tied to a stable passport URL — versioned with every change to the underlying data.
Keep the passport live and accurate
Re-checks on data updates, supplier inputs and category-act changes — the passport stays maintained, not stale.
The gaps we see most often on DPP
- No unique identifier assigned to the SKU
- Mandatory data fields incomplete for the category
- No registered data carrier (QR / NFC / data-matrix)
- Passport not published at a stable URL
- Stale or inaccurate data since the last publish
Every DPP finding is source-traced — what the gap is, where it came from in your inputs, and the remediation step. A readiness report, not a verdict.
DPP questions, answered
Is the DPP mandatory now?
The ESPR framework is in force; mandatory DPPs arrive category-by-category via delegated acts. Batteries are first; the textile delegated act is expected in 2027. Preparing now is the advantage.
Which products need a DPP first?
Priority categories in the 2025–2030 working plan: textiles, electronics, furniture, iron/steel, aluminium, tyres and more. Textiles are the first major consumer wave.
What goes in a Digital Product Passport?
Category-specific data: durability, recyclability, recycled content, substances of concern, repairability, origin — defined by each category's delegated act.
How is a DPP accessed?
Through a data carrier on the product (QR, NFC or data-matrix) linking to the passport, with identifiers stored in the EU registry.
Does publishing a passport make my product compliant?
No. The passport presents data; Regonance helps you compile and publish it accurately. Informational guidance, not legal advice.
