NAVIGATING INTO THE…
NEW EU LANDSCAPE

AUBERON TECHNOLOGIES ® : your Digital Product Passport (DPP) Compliance & Post-Market Support Partner !

The European Union is at the forefront of the circular economy transition, and a pivotal instrument in this shift is the Digital Product Passport (DPP). For manufacturers and exporters of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) products and other electronics worldwide, understanding and complying with the DPP is no longer optional – it’s crucial for you to continued access to the lucrative EU market.

As a non-EU manufacturer, you might be asking: “How will the DPP impact my operations, and how can I ensure my products remain compliant and competitive in Europe?” This article outlines the challenge and presents a comprehensive solution to navigate this evolving regulatory environment.

THE DIGITAL PRODUCT PASSPORT :
A GAME CHANGER FOR ICT & ELECTRONICS

The DPP will provide a digital record of a product’s journey, from raw materials and manufacturing processes to its use, repair, and end-of-life. For complex products like ICT and electronics, this means:

• Enhanced Traceability: Detailed information on components, origin, and supply chain.
• Sustainability Insights: Data on environmental impact, energy consumption, and recyclability.
• Repairability & Durability: Information to facilitate repair, extend product lifespan, and promote circularity.
• Consumer Empowerment: Greater transparency for end-users regarding product attributes.

While the exact requirements are still being finalized for specific product categories, the direction is clear: a new era of transparency and accountability is dawning. Non-compliance could lead to significant market access barriers, penalties, and damage to brand reputation.
