Digital Product Passport for Construction Materials

The construction sector is among the main priorities for introducing the Digital Product Passport (DPP) in the EU. The reason is the significant environmental impact – related to high energy and raw material consumption, large volumes of construction waste, and low levels of material reuse.

Regulatory Framework and Requirements

Digital Product Passport for Construction Materials

When Does It Become Mandatory?

Specific rules for the DPP for construction materials are expected in 2026–2027, with phased introduction starting from July 2027. All participants in the chain – manufacturers, importers, and distributors – must build processes for data collection and provision according to new standards.

What Will the DPP for Construction Materials Contain?

DPP for construction products will include information about material composition and origin, energy efficiency, carbon footprint, sustainability, and recycling or reuse possibilities. Data on chemical substances, safety, and usage instructions throughout the lifecycle will also be included.

Why Are Construction Materials a Priority?

Construction products account for a large share of the EU’s carbon footprint and generate significant amounts of waste. The sector is key to the transition to a circular economy and requires high transparency in the supply chain.

Steps for DPP Implementation

Product Creation at the Factory

Data is entered for raw materials used – steel, concrete, insulation materials, coatings – along with information about their origin and quality during production.

Generating the Digital Passport

Each construction element (profiled sheet metal, insulation panels, tiles) receives a unique DPP with QR code/link containing information about composition, technical specifications, and safety standards.

Supply Chain Integration

Manufacturers, distributors, and construction supply stores add data on transportation, storage, installation instructions, and certifications such as CE or ISO.

Access for Retailers and Construction Companies

Retailers receive complete product information – dimensions, durability, installation instructions – while construction companies can verify compatibility and maintenance requirements.

Access for End Consumers

Investors and end customers can scan the QR code to see what materials were used, their environmental assessment, energy efficiency, and operating recommendations.

Post-Use Tracking

After demolition or renovation, the passport is updated with information about reuse or recycling of materials (e.g., steel, aluminum, glass), closing the circular cycle in construction.

DPP will become mandatory for construction products no later than 2027, following the adoption of delegated acts and the update of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR).

Basic construction materials such as concrete, cement, bricks, insulation, timber, metal profiles, as well as complex products with significant environmental impact.

Material composition and origin, energy efficiency, carbon footprint, recycling possibilities, safe use instructions, and end-of-life information.

Manufacturers, importers, and distributors of construction materials, as well as retailers of products used in construction.

Increased transparency, competitive advantage, easier access to markets and customers, as well as compliance with EU environmental standards.

The passport facilitates material reuse, reduces waste, and allows better resource management throughout the entire product lifecycle.

Start collecting product data, build internal processes for transparency, and plan integration with management and traceability systems.
