Digital Product Passport (DPP)
In a digitalised world, the Digital Product Passport (DPP) is becoming an increasingly important tool for achieving sustainable production and circular economy goals.
The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital data system that contains data on a product's material composition, environmental impact, life cycle, carbon footprint, recycling potential and production processes. The system, which can be integrated with QR codes, blockchain technology and IoT solutions, aims to improve the traceability of products throughout their lifecycle.
DPP collects all critical product-related information on a single digital platform, making it transparent and accessible to stakeholders such as producers, consumers, suppliers, regulators and recycling facilities.
DPP has been implemented in sectors such as electronics, batteries, textiles, automotive and packaging and will be extended to all industries in the future.
Key Objectives of the Digital Product Passport
-
Increasing product traceability
To record every stage of the product throughout the supply chain.
-
Ensuring resource efficiency
Promote sustainable reuse and recycling of product components.
-
Reducing carbon footprint
To support low-carbon production strategies by monitoring the environmental impact of the materials used in the production process.
-
Facilitate compliance with regulations
Providing a roadmap for companies to ensure compliance with the EU's sustainability and circular economy targets.
-
Increasing consumer awareness
Raising awareness of users about the sustainability of products and providing transparent information.
Technical Structure of the Digital Product Passport
The DPP system works by integrating with various technological infrastructures that ensure the flow of data throughout the entire life cycle of the products.
1. Product Identification and Database Integration
Identification of products by serial number, QR code or RFID tag and storage of all information in a centralised digital system.
2. Blockchain and IoT Supported Data Security
Storing product information in a transparent and unchangeable way with blockchain technology; collecting data that can be updated throughout the life cycle of the product with IoT sensors.
3. Carbon and Environmental Impact Monitoring Mechanisms
DPP ensures that carbon emissions are calculated and reported in accordance with international standards such as ISO 14067, ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.
4. Supply Chain Compliance Process
DPP, Tedarik Zinciri Yasası, EUDR (AB Ormansızlaşma Yönetmeliği), CBAM (Sınırda Karbon Düzenleme Mekanizması) gibi regülasyonlarla uyum sağlayarak firmaların sürdürülebilir tedarik zinciri yönetiminde önemli bir araç haline gelir.
What are the Advantages of Digital Product Passport for Businesses?
The DPP is not only a compliance tool for manufacturers and suppliers, but also offers long-term commercial benefits:
ESG criteria enable integration with sustainability reporting standards such as GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), TCFD and CDP.
It helps to comply with EU regulations quickly and efficiently.
Increases competitive advantage in the marketplace by providing more transparent information on the environmental impact of products.
It helps to trace the origin of product components and optimise materials management in line with circular economy principles.
Companies that adapt early to green technology investments and sustainable business models will gain a long-term market advantage.
