The Digital Product Passport: A New Era of Transparency and Sustainability
Arvato Systems supports companies in getting started with the digital product passport
Gütersloh, 12.02.2026 (PresseBox) -
Mandatory in the EU from 2027: The digital product passport will be gradually introduced for almost all physical goods, creating transparency throughout the entire product life cycle.
More than compliance: The digital product passport promotes circular economy, efficiency, and sustainability.
The European Union will gradually introduce the Digital Product Passport (DPP) as a mandatory requirement from 2027 onwards. This marks the beginning of a new era of transparency and sustainability. The DPP will apply to almost all physical goods manufactured or imported into the EU. The aim is to enable complete traceability throughout the entire product life cycle, thereby consistently promoting the circular economy.
The digital product passport is more than just a data record - it is the key to a sustainable, digital future. In the future, all relevant information, such as material composition, chemicals contained, and repair and recycling options, can be accessed at any time via a data carrier permanently attached to the product, such as a QR code. This not only creates transparency, but also opens completely new opportunities for companies:
More efficient use of resources reduces costs
Digital maintenance information improves product quality
Circular economy promotes environmental protection
Materials remain in the economic cycle longer, reducing dependence on raw materials
Overall, resilience is strengthened and external dependencies are reduced
“The introduction of the DPP presents companies with technical and organizational hurdles. It is therefore advisable to prepare product information at an early stage so that the advantages of the digital product passport can already be used for your own purposes. This will ensure that companies are well prepared when the DPP requirement comes into force,” emphasizes Kimberly Karambis, who is responsible for the digital product passport at Arvato Systems.
Arvato Systems supports companies in implementing the digital product passport, addressing key technical and organizational requirements. Early preparation enables companies to ensure compliance while laying the foundation for sustainable competitiveness.
Further information on the Digital Product Pass can be found on the Arvato Systems website.
On May 8, visitors to this year's Interpack can get a compact overview of the Digital Product Pass at the booth of our partner Wipotec (Hall 15, Booth C42).
