EU Digital Product Passport Cheat Sheet

A concise summary, further information sources, and industry timelines regarding the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), all in one. 

Trust in product information once relied on paper certificates, supplier declarations, and physical audits. But as supply chains stretch across continents and sustainability regulations tighten, manual verification has become a real burden.

The EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) introduces the Digital Product Passport (DPP) – a unified framework to make every product's journey transparent, traceable, and verifiable. 

Building Trust in the New Era of Sustainable Manufacturing

Digital trust now extends beyond transactions; it must protect every data point that defines a product's lifecycle. For manufacturers and distributors in the EU, that means ensuring the authenticity and integrity of information exchanged across global supply networks.

Together, Swisscom Trust Services and Cryptar enable companies to turn this challenge into an advantage. Through the use of qualified electronic seals and tamper-proof evidence protocols, your organization can automate compliance, create legally valid audit trails, and defend itself against false claims.
