A Digital Product Passport is a set of product-specific digital data for the purpose of making relevant information visible during the product life cycle, to contribute to more sustainable production and consumption. The Product Passport aims to increase traceability and facilitate a circular economy through the sharing of different sustainability data by manufacturers for their products. For example, the information may relate to characteristics, content, ecolabels, origin, recycling, specifications, usage instructions, environmental impact, and compliance information, accessible via QR codes or barcodes.

Examples of data in a DPP:

Carbon footprint, Water footprint, Reusability, Repairability, Recyclability, Warranty, User manuals, Third-party Certifications, etc.
