Recently, there has been a significant buzz about how Digital Product Passports (DPPs) stand as pivotal instruments fostering a sustainable future. At yellow3, we are enlightening companies on how this technology can offer end-to-end visibility in production processes, encouraging a conscientious consumer base and adhering to regulatory mandates.


Bridging the Gap in Supply Chain Transparency

Inherently intricate and extended supply chains often leave consumers in the dark regarding the origins and manufacturing details of the products they purchase. The inception of DPPs symbolizes a beacon of transparency, meticulously tracing every component of an item through the entire supply chain. This ensures that companies' sustainability claims are verifiable, safeguarding them against allegations of greenwashing and legal infringements.

Moreover, DPPs facilitate a circular economy, promoting the perpetual reuse and repurposing of materials in a closed-loop system, starkly contrasting to the prevailing open-loop, wasteful paradigm.


Responding to Global Directives

As we witness a surge in legislative actions advocating for mandatory DPP implementation globally, it becomes imperative to understand the specifics of these mandates.

In the EU, a series of directives encouraging DPP usage are in effect, with numerous others in the pipeline. A notable instance is the EU Battery Regulation stipulating that from 2026, all-electric and industrial batteries in the EU must feature a digital passport detailing vital product information accessible through a QR code scan.

Furthermore, we anticipate a decisive move in the textile sector around 2030, mandating DPPs that encapsulate comprehensive data on environmental attributes.

At yellow3, we strongly advocate for a proactive stance towards DPP adoption despite the official directives being a few years away. Engaging with this technology ensures you stay caught up with industry peers in the future, thus maintaining a competitive edge.
