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. It works as a digital identity for each product. Customers, repairers and recyclers use it to find the information they need to choose, repair, reuse and recycle products, and authorities use it to check compliance. The passport does not cut emissions by itself. The ESPR’s ecodesign rules aim to reduce the carbon and environmental footprint of products over their life cycle, and the passport carries the product data those rules require. Together they support the EU’s aim of a climate-neutral, circular economy in place of the linear take, make, dispose model.
