On 17 July 2026, the European Commission launched a new Digital Product Passport (“DPP”), webpage, creating a central information hub for businesses, consumers, public authorities and other stakeholders interested in this key sustainability initiative. Developed as part of the implementation of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the new website explains the purpose of the DPP, how it will function in practice and what stakeholders can expect as implementation progresses. The full announcement is available at this link, while the new Digital Product Passport website can be accessed at this link.

DPPs Passport will serve as a digital identity for products, components and materials, providing information that supports sustainability, circularity and regulatory compliance. Depending on the product category, the passport may contain data on product composition, environmental performance, repairability, safety, origin, reuse and recycling possibilities.

DPPs will be introduced gradually across selected product groups. Implementation is expected to begin with certain types of batteries, followed by additional sectors such as textiles, iron and steel, and construction products. By making product information more transparent and easily accessible, the initiative aims to support informed purchasing decisions, improve information sharing along value chains and facilitate repair, reuse and recycling activities.

The new webpage is designed as a single point of access to DPP-related information. It includes explanations of how the system will work throughout a product’s lifecycle, stakeholder-specific guidance, implementation updates, FAQs, supporting documentation and information about upcoming webinars and events. The Commission indicated that the platform will continue to expand as new guidance, technical resources and sector-specific information become available.
