DPPs can help the plastics industry to increase circularity and reduce waste

More than just a tool for verifying sustainable and responsible manufacturing in line with ESPR legislation and circularity initiatives – Digital Product Passports are a tool for enabling widespread business transformation.

DPP Impact

Digital Product Passports can store data relating to each product at a granular level, giving a holistic view of its whole lifecycle and environmental impact. The data DPPs contain can provide organisations with an immutable audit trail for compliance with upcoming legislation, as well as give valuable insight into an organisation’s supply chain operations.

Tackling Greenwashing

DPPs can help organisations prove any green claims that they make by recording sustainability information for each individual product. Customers can access this information prior to sale by scanning the DPP, enabling informed purchase decisions based on sustainability and verifiable information.

Sustainable Manufacturing

DPPs can provide data on carbon emissions produced during manufacturing and tie them to each specific product which can be extrapolated to give an accurate view of the manufacturing process’ emissions profile. This enables plastic producers to identify and monitor high-emission processes and take action to make them greener.

Recycling and Disposal

DPPs contain recyclability information for plastic products that have reached the end of their lifecycle. This is especially important when it comes to recycling or safely disposing of products that contain plastics to minimise waste and environmental impact whilst maximising consumer safety.

DPPs are mandated for all plastic products made or sold within the EU by 2030.

The plastics industry is required to make significant changes.

DPPs enable organisations to satisfy the regulatory requirements that will be imposed by the ESPR, which mandates the implementation of DPPs by 2030. For organisations that want to future-proof their operations and gain a first-mover advantage, it would be best to start considering a DPP solution now.
