Product information
Which data suppliers provide today, could provide if required, or would rather not share, from drawings and materials to certificates and carbon footprint.
What we study
Product information that lasts as long as the product
We look at what Digital Product Passports need to hold, and who needs to supply it, so that products can be trusted, repaired and given a longer life. Our focus is on manufacturers and their suppliers.
Authenticity
How companies establish that a product is genuine, in which phases of its life that matters most, and who should be responsible for verifying it.
Repair, refurbish, reuse
What information is needed to decide whether a used product can be repaired, refurbished or reused, and what stands in the way today.
Background
What is a Digital Product Passport?
A digital record that follows a product through its life. The EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) introduces passports product group by product group, starting in the coming years.
- It tells customers, repairers and recyclers what a product is made of and how it can be maintained.
- It can show where a product comes from and help prove that it is genuine.
- Its value depends on information from many companies along the supply chain, including subcontractors.
