Dawn of the Digital
The winds of regulatory change are sweeping across Europe, and businesses can no longer afford to ignore them. The European Union’s ambitious drive
EU regulations regarding Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are always evolving, and it can get difficult for businesses to keep track. Let UNDO make it easy for you.
Main features
Save on extra compliance costs by informing yourself about DPP regulations and implementing your own DPP before it gets too late.
Before knowing what steps to take, you have to understand what a DPP is. Read our extensive blog to get a complete understanding on the topic.
The first step to compliance with EU Digital Product Passport regulations should be to identify which industry you're operating in. Depending on that, you might have to adapt accordingly to make sure you don't fall behind.
EU publishes final technical standards for DPPs and begins market preparation.
First delegated acts are adopted; member states set up market surveillance; industry pilots start.
Electronics, batteries, textiles, and priority construction products must comply with new DPP requirements.
Extension of DPP requirements to all electronics, portable batteries, and furniture.
DPP compliance becomes mandatory for packaging, automotive components, and industrial machinery.
Universal coverage: all regulated product categories in the EU must have DPPs.
After reading our guide, you'll realize that the process of deploying DPPs is not all that simple. Talk to our DPP expert, or book a Free Demo to understand how it works.

DPPs are digital records mandated by the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) that provide transparent, standardized information about products’ materials, origin, lifecycle, compliance, and environmental impact to support circular economy goals.
The main legislation is the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (EU 2024/3110), which supersedes previous ecodesign laws to include broad product categories and introduces mandatory DPPs as a key compliance requirement starting in 2024 and phased in through 2030 depending on the sector.
The EU mandates DPPs for batteries (starting 2027), textiles/fashion (2027), electronics and ICT products (by 2030), construction materials (starting 2026), packaging & reusable products, automotive components, plastics, and chemicals among others, aiming for broad coverage to maximize circularity and sustainability.
Required information includes unique product identifiers (QR, NFC, RFID), material and component composition, production and supply chain details, durability and repairability data, environmental and carbon footprint metrics, compliance certificates, safety information, and end-of-life treatment options.
DPPs operationalize the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan by providing verified, accessible data enabling reuse, repair, recycling, and resource optimization, reducing waste and environmental impacts while improving product transparency and consumer engagement.
Batteries require compliance starting February 2027; textiles and footwear by 2027; electronics by 2030; and construction materials starting 2026. Other sectors follow progressive implementation based on product group importance and regulatory readiness.
Compliance requires creating structured DPPs covering mandated data elements, integrating digital product passports with existing IT systems, ensuring product traceability, documenting environmental impact, and maintaining audit-ready digital records, supported by digital twin technology for real-time data accuracy.
Non-compliance risks include significant financial penalties, restrictions or bans on EU market access, exclusion from public tenders, reputational damage, and potential legal liabilities under product safety and environmental laws.
UNDO software offers an integrated platform for creating and managing digital product passports aligned with EU regulations, seamlessly updated by digital twins, automating data capture, compliance reporting, and stakeholder communication, accelerating regulatory readiness while enabling circular business models.
