Digital Product Passport for the Furniture Industry

The furniture industry is among the sectors in the EU with high waste volumes and low recyclability. The introduction of a Digital Product Passport (DPP) will ensure transparency about the materials used, reuse possibilities and sustainability of production. This is a key step towards more efficient resource management and the circular economy.

Regulatory Framework and Requirements

DPP for the Furniture Industry

When does it become mandatory?

DPP for furniture products is expected to become mandatory after 2027, with exact timelines to be specified in EU delegated acts. Companies should begin preparations for data collection and structuring in advance.

What will the DPP for furniture contain?

Information on material composition (wood, metal, textile, fillings), chemical content, carbon footprint, repairability, recyclability, and instructions for reuse or proper disposal.

Why is furniture a priority?

The sector generates enormous amounts of waste with low recycling rates. DPP will facilitate reuse, reduce waste management costs, and enable more transparent and sustainable supply chains.

Steps for DPP Implementation

Product creation at the factory

Data on the materials used – wood, textile, metal, paints and adhesives – is entered, along with their origin and compliance with safety and sustainable production standards.

Generating a Digital Product Passport

Each item (chair, desk, wardrobe) receives a unique DPP with a QR code/link containing information on composition, assembly instructions and operational characteristics.

Supply chain integration

Manufacturers, distributors and furniture retailers add data on logistics, storage, safety certifications (e.g. FSC, ISO) and warranty terms.

Access for retailers and showrooms

Retailers receive up-to-date information on dimensions, materials, availability and finish options, while showrooms can present digital product documentation to customers.

Access for end consumers

Customers scan the QR code and receive assembly instructions, maintenance recommendations, warranty terms and environmental data for the product.

Post-use tracking

During repair, reuse or recycling, the passport is updated – information is added about options for reprocessing wood, metal parts or textiles, closing the product's lifecycle.
