This Deep Dive explores the Digital Product Passport (DPP): what it is, how it works and the regulatory framework underpinning it. We examine its technical pillars, the phased roll-out of the ESPR Regulation, the harmonised standards already published, and the practical implications for businesses and consumers.

Furthermore, we analyse a technical paper by CIRPASS-2 (co-led by BAIDATA), which addresses a key challenge: : current architectures create unsustainable bottlenecks in the supply chain. The solution is the Internet of Product Data (IoPD), a federated and sovereign model which, in practical case studies across sectors such as textiles, tyres, semiconductors, energy, furniture and agri-food, has already proven to work. Compliance with the ESPR serves as the entry point, but the case studies demonstrate that the combination of Digital Product Passports (DPP), Data Spaces, Digital Twins and European Business Wallets generates something of far greater value: data monetisation, new business models and an industry ready to extract maximum value from its value chain.
