Digital Passport
Act in advance
The introduction of the Digital Product Passport will take place gradually, following the deadlines of the Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR).
Companies must prepare in time to comply with the law and avoid sanctions.
The first applications will affect the textile sector, then electronics and batteries, construction materials, and later it will be extended to other sectors.
Here are the main timeframes:
-
2024-2025: Regulation approval
-
2026-2027: Mandatory for the first sectors
-
From 2027 onwards: Extension to other products
The future rewards those who act today
Even if the obligation is not yet active for all sectors, it is highly recommended to start now. Adapting IT systems, mapping required data, and training staff takes time. Anticipating deadlines helps avoid last-minute rushes and seize business opportunities.
Companies that act early will offer greater transparency to customers, communicate their environmental commitment, and position themselves as market leaders. Preparing now means being more competitive, more credible, and already aligned with future regulatory requirements.

The Ecodesign Regulation is finalized and operational guidelines are defined.
It is recommended to start immediately to avoid delays or non-compliance.
It depends on the complexity of the company, but it takes several months to map data and update systems.
With our system, the time is significantly reduced.
The ESPR Regulation entered into force in July 2024. The European technical standards (EN 18216–18223) were published in May 2026 and define the DPP data model.
