Digital Product Passports 2025: What They Are and Why They Matter

Digital Product Passports: Why They’re the Future of Tech Transparency

In 2025, Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are one of the most important sustainability shifts in technology. By 2026, the EU will mandate DPPs for electronics and appliances.

What is a Digital Product Passport?

A Digital Product Passport is a unique digital ID linked to a product. It contains:

• Manufacturing data

• Repair instructions

• Recycling info

• Carbon footprint details

Why It Matters for Consumers

• Easier repairs → right-to-repair movement grows

• Transparency → know where your product was made

• Sustainability → reduced e-waste and carbon footprint

Who’s Leading in 2025?

• Apple – already including repair manuals & recycling info (source)

• Fairphone – pioneers of modular, repairable phones

• Samsung – pilot DPP programs in the EU

👉 By 2026, DPPs will be as common as barcodes.
