Digital Product Passport (DPP) for End Consumers

For end consumers, DPP is a tool for making informed choices and achieving greater transparency. It provides accessible information about the product – from its composition and sustainability to repair options and proper disposal. This enables consumers to choose more sustainable products and extend their lifespan.

Why is this important for consumers?

DPP gives more control, transparency and the ability for more responsible consumption, which reduces waste and supports the circular economy.
