Digital product passport and sustainable consumption
About
Digitalisation offers a wide range of opportunities to make consumption more sustainable for society as a whole and to support consumers in their purchasing decisions towards sustainable alternatives.
The main functional potential of the DPP as a cross-product and standardised data set is to collect data from the entire product life cycle and make it accessible to various stakeholders, including consumers and and therefore has great potential to promote sustainable consumption decisions.
