Digital product passports: from idea to reality
Digital product passports are not just a new piece of EU legislation – they are an opportunity for companies to strengthen their sustainability profile, meet customer expectations and contribute to the green transition. At Svensk Handel’s recent seminar, it was discussed how these digital identities can create transparency throughout the product life cycle – from manufacturing to recycling.
– Contributing with insights on digital product passports and their potential to drive sustainability was incredibly rewarding. The discussions clearly showed how important collaboration is to succeed in the transition, says Malin Rosqvist, Program Manager for PiiA – Process Industrial IT & Automation – which funds and supports initiatives such as Trace4Value’s work with digital product passports with the aim of increasing the efficiency and competitiveness of Swedish companies.
For those who missed the seminar, it is available to watch afterwards on the Swedish Trade Federation website.
What is a digital product passport?
Imagine buying a jacket and scanning a QR code to find out where the materials come from, how to repair it and what to do with it when it wears out. This is exactly what digital product passports enable – a unique digital identity that follows the product throughout its life cycle.
Get started with digital product passports
GS1 Sweden invites you on February 6, 2025 to the webinar “From requirements to benefits – get started with digital product passports”. Here, participants will get practical guidance to take the first steps towards implementation, focusing on how to build a solid foundation for traceability in your organization and what tools are available to meet the EU’s new sustainability requirements.
A future built on transparency
Digital product passports are changing the way we look at sustainability and circularity in products. By connecting data on the materials, manufacturing and recyclability of products, we can create a more circular and sustainable future. Want to know more or join the webinar?
