EU Digital Product Passport in Manufacturing: Requirements, Data Infrastructure & Industrial Use Cases

The EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) is set to transform how manufacturers collect, manage, and share product data across the entire value chain. As part of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the DPP introduces new requirements that will reshape product design, traceability, and circularity across European industry. 

📅 Join us on Wednesday, 6 May, 12:00–13:15 for a webinar designed to help manufacturing professionals understand what’s coming and how to prepare.  

This session, hosted by the Digital Factory Alliance (DFA) is organised by EIT Manufacturing South within the SM4RTENANCE project, funded by the Digital Europe Programme, which aims to facilitate a neutral cross-sectoral data space where data can be provided along the complete asset lifecycle from the different stakeholders interacting with the asset 4.0. 

🔍 In this webinar, you will learn: 

• What the DPP is, why it was created, and what the EU requires from manufacturers.

• How the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) and dataspaces address today’s fragmented, non‑standardised supply‑chain data

• How real industrial use cases show practical, scalable solutions that support circularity and lifecycle optimisation
