What is the primary environmental goal of Digital Product passport?

The primary environmental objective of the Digital Product Passport is to support the European Union’s shift to a circular economy. By acting as a digital identity for products, it improves transparency, helps keep products in use for longer, and ensures they are managed responsibly at end of life. The DPP contributes to this by reducing carbon and environmental footprints across the product life cycle, improving material and energy efficiency, extending product lifetimes through better access to repair and durability information, and supporting the EU’s broader goal of climate neutrality by moving markets away from a linear take, make, dispose model.
