Digital Product Passport: the Ylium ID blockchain solution for compliance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1781

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) represents one of the most significant regulatory transformations for European companies. Introduced by Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR – Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation), the DPP will progressively become mandatory for various categories of products placed on the EU market.

The objective is clear: to ensure transparency, sustainability, and traceability throughout the entire product lifecycle, through interoperable and accessible digital data.

What does the Digital Product Passport require?

Companies will be required to ensure:

• Unique digital identifier (QR code, NFC, or digital serial number)
• Machine-readable information
• Profiled access for economic operators, authorities, and consumers
• Data on composition, origin, repairability, recyclability
• Environmental compliance and ESG sustainability

In the case of batteries, Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 introduces the Battery Passport, mandatory from 18 February 2027 for certain categories.

The real challenge: data integrity and proof

The Digital Product Passport is not just a digital archive. It is a system that must ensure:

• Data integrity
• Immutability of records
• Complete audit trail
• Certainty of data and non-repudiation
• Verifiability in customs and regulatory contexts

Without a technological trust layer, the DPP risks being vulnerable to manipulation or disputes.
