Digital product passport: what it is, and how you prepare

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured overview of a product: materials, origin, climate impact, and what can be repaired or recycled.

Traceability from material to supplier

Why the EU talks about product passports

ESPR (EU 2024/1781) is the ecodesign rule set meant to make products more transparent. DPP is the digital form: a customer or authority scans and sees the documentation.

Not every product is covered on the same day. Requirements arrive in groups. What reaches you first is often a customer already asking.

What you need to be able to document

Think of the passport as a passport for the goods. Without master data, materials and traceability, the QR code is empty.

01

What the product is, and which materials it contains

02

Where components come from, and who the supplier is

03

Climate impact and other documentation you can already stand behind

04

Repair, durability and recycling, when you know it

How LCAB helps

LCAB gathers product data, suppliers and documentation so you can prepare a product passport without starting from a blank form.

You get one place for what today lives in Excel, PDF and email.

How to prepare a digital product passport

  1. Write down product master data: name, type, materials and key components.

  2. Link suppliers and files to the same data, so traceability does not live in the inbox.

  3. Add the climate figure and documentation you can already stand behind.

  4. Use LCAB to gather it as a product passport you can extend when the ESPR requirement is concrete.

Common questions

01

Is DPP the same as an LCA?

No. An LCA describes impact across the life cycle. A product passport is the documentation that follows the product: materials, traceability and often climate data. LCA results can feed the passport.

02

Does every product need a passport now?

No. ESPR introduces the passport in stages. Start with the products customers already ask about, so you are not rebuilding everything when the rule lands.

03

Can we prepare without the final template?

Yes. The data a passport needs are the same data you need anyway: product, materials, suppliers and documentation.

Want product data kept with the product?

LCAB gathers product data around the product you sell. Start with the files you already have.
