Next Steps for Businesses and Consumers
As the EU moves forward with DPPs, businesses must prepare by:
Investing in digital infrastructure – e.g. with PIM systems to collect, manage, and share product data.
Collaborating with suppliers to ensure transparency across the supply chain.
Training employees on new sustainability reporting requirements and the technical aspects of managing DPPs.
Consumers can expect to start seeing products with Digital Product Passports in 2025 and should familiarize themselves with how to access and interpret the information, which will help them make more sustainable purchasing decisions.
