The EU's new Digital Product Passport (DPP), launched in 2024, sets a standard for transparency and sustainability across product life cycles. Part of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, the DPP provides a digital record detailing a product’s origin, materials, environmental impact, and disposal.

As the UK considers aligning with this initiative, it has the opportunity to boost both environmental performance and economic competitiveness. Successful adoption will depend on strong industry collaboration and a workforce equipped with environmental expertise - key to staying ahead in the global shift toward sustainable innovation.

Make UK has prepared this short briefing to keep you informed around the DPP, the potential UK approach and impact on manufacturing, and next steps.
