Digital Product Passport (DPP) – EU compliance through EUBW infrastructure

Why DPP matters now

• The DPP is becoming mandatory across many product groups — from batteries to furniture, textiles, electronics and metals.
• Regulatory deadlines begin as early as 2027, with full rollout expected by 2030 for most sectors. 
• Compliance demands detailed data, traceability, and proof of origin — aspects the DPP is built to address. 
• Companies that ignore these requirements risk losing EU market access and facing compliance penalties. 

How European Business Wallet (EUBW) supports DPP

• Authenticate legal-entity identity, registrations, licences and authorised representatives without paperwork or manual verification. 
• Issue verifiable credentials that can be linked to a product’s DPP — ensuring that data such as origin, materials, and sustainability come from a trusted source.
• Share product passport data securely with partners, regulators, and supply-chain actors, while preserving data integrity and preventing tampering.
• Handle cross-border exchanges consistently, thanks to standardization under EU frameworks.

With EUBW + DPP, companies build a seamless digital chain from business identity to product compliance.

Explore the European Business Wallet (EUBW)

The Europe Commission is already taking the necessary steps to realise this strong potential and has made it one of its highest priorities to ensure such business wallets at a European level. In fact, they both made it a flagship action as part of EU’s competitive compass from January 2025 and part of the EU Commission's work program. The motivation for this may be related to the reported 2 trillion euro loss in annual global economic value from lost productivity and revenue opportunities.

What businesses need to do today

Given the speed of regulatory adoption, companies should prepare now. Key steps:

• Start mapping supply chains and product lifecycles to identify where DPP data must be collected.
  
  
• Adopt an eIDAS-compliant business wallet like EUBW to manage identity, credentials, licences and document exchange.
  
  
• Implement verifiable credentials and secure data sharing — for example via Partisia’s cryptographic infrastructure.
  
  
• Design product passports (materials, sustainability, lifecycle data) to align with ESPR and DPP standards.
  
  
• Set up systems to update the DPP throughout the product lifecycle — production, transport, sale, repair, disposal.

What this means for supply-chain transparency and sustainability

Integrating DPP with EUBW transforms supply chains. Buyers, regulators, and consumers get access to verified, tamper-proof product histories - from materials sourcing, through production, to resale or recycling.

For sustainable sectors like electronics, batteries, textiles or furniture, this builds brand trust, supports circular-economy compliance, and reduces the risk of regulatory non-compliance. For companies exporting to or within the EU, this can be a competitive advantage - or a licensing requirement.
