Go beyond Compliance.
The EU digital product passport (DPP) will require a digital link on every product by 2030. Don't waste that touchpoint on a QR code anyone can copy. TAGBASE NFC tags turn a compliance requirement into a strategic opportunity: they're uncopyable, traceable across your supply chain, and verifiable long after the first sale, generating real-world business insights at every step of your product's journey.

What is the EU digital product passport?
The European union's ecodesign for sustainable products regulation (ESPR) mandates that products sold in the EU carry a digital product passport — a standardised digital record linked to the physical product.
Transparency
Full product lifecycle data — materials, manufacturing, carbon footprint — accessible by simply tapping the product with a phone.
Traceability
Track every product from raw materials through production, distribution, and end-of-life recycling.
Sustainability
Enable consumers and regulators to verify sustainability claims with verifiable, tamper-proof data.
Circularity
Support repair, reuse, and recycling by making product composition and disassembly instructions available.
When is DPP coming for your industry?
The regulation is rolling out in phases. Early adopters gain a competitive advantage — don't wait until it's mandatory.
Batteries
Industrial, EV, and portable batteries must carry a DPP with chemistry, capacity, carbon footprint, and recycled content data.
Textiles & apparel
Clothing and footwear will require DPPs covering material composition, manufacturing origin, durability, and recyclability.
Electronics & ICT
Smartphones, tablets, and IT equipment must provide repairability scores, spare parts availability, and end-of-life handling.
Furniture
Furniture products will need DPPs detailing materials, chemical content, disassembly instructions, and recycling options.
Expanding to all products
The ESPR framework allows the European commission to add virtually any product category via delegated acts — DPP will become the norm.
