5 things you should know about Digital Product Passports
Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a concept for enabling consumers to gain better access to information about the products they buy, including where a specific product originated, what materials it contains and how it ended up into the consumer’s hands. DPPs can also be used to track the entire lifecycle of a given product from manufacturing to recycling. The EU is driving standardization of DPPs and accompanying legislation, but the potential value and expanded use cases around DPPs offer new ways for companies around the world to reimagine consumer experiences and drive deeper visibility into their supply chains.
Join this session to learn about DPPs and the extended use cases around brand protection, consumer engagement and more.
