Beyond Compliance, a Catalyst for Brand Value.
The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is an opportunity for brands to bring greater transparency, trust, and circularity to their products. At Inexto, we see the DPP as more than a regulatory obligation – it is a powerful enabler that helps brands better understand their product ecosystem, strengthen consumer engagement, and unlock value far beyond compliance.
What is a Digital Product Passport?
The DPP is a cornerstone of the EU’s broader strategy to promote sustainability and circularity. Its purpose is to extend product lifecycles and support reuse, repair, and recycling by making essential product information easily accessible throughout the value chain.
This includes details on sustainability, safety, composition, and compliance – all accessible through a data carrier such as a QR code or NFC tag.
The EU DPP forms a central part of several key regulations designed to meet the EU’s environmental and circularity goals:
- Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)
- Battery Regulation
- Construction Products Regulation
- Toy Safety Regulation
And momentum is growing worldwide. Markets such as Vietnam and China are already preparing their own DPP frameworks, with more countries expected to follow.
Who is impacted?
The introduction of the DPP will influence the entire product ecosystem. Any organization involved in manufacturing, importing, distributing, or selling products in the EU will need to comply with the new requirements. This includes manufacturers, brands, suppliers, distributors, retailers, and all partners who contribute to a product’s lifecycle.
Maximizing visibility and control
With an effective track & trace technology, you gain real-time visibility into every step of your supply chain. From the moment products leave your facility to their final destination, you can monitor their movements, ensuring complete transparency and control. This enhanced visibility enables efficient stock management, proactive production planning, and minimizes the risks of overstocking or stockouts.
Efficient recalls management
Track & trace systems provide comprehensive insights into returned products. By swiftly identifying and tracking returned items, you can quickly identify the root causes of returns and take appropriate corrective actions. Streamlining the returns management process minimizes associated costs, improves customer satisfaction, and helps retain valuable relationships.
Loss prevention and theft mitigation
Track & trace technology helps detect and mitigate losses and theft. Through traceability, you can identify potential points of failure in the supply chain and take corrective actions to prevent losses, minimizing the risk of theft and related costs.

What information must you provide?
To comply with the Digital Product Passport, companies will need to collect and share a defined set of product information. This ensures that every product carries the essential data needed to support transparency, safety, and circularity across its entire lifecycle.
