Whitepaper on the Digital Product Pass (DPP): Implementation, Scaling and Cybersecurity

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is set to become a central pillar of the European circular economy. Its purpose is to create transparency across the entire product life cycle – from manufacturing to recycling. But its success will depend on how effectively technical, organisational and regulatory questions are resolved. The new ZVEI White Paper outlines the current state of play, clarifies complex requirements and provides concrete recommendations for practical implementation in industry.

The white paper answers four key questions:

• Clarity on EUDR, ESPR & DPP implementation: What new obligations will companies face – and where is further regulation still needed?
• Defining a “Minimum Viable DPP”: Which data is truly essential? How can costs and benefits be balanced efficiently?
• Pathways to scaling & interoperability: Guidance on data architectures, standards, semantics and interfaces.
• Focus on cybersecurity: Requirements for secure identities, robust infrastructures and reliable service levels.
