Anthesis Digital Product Passports (DPP)

Getting a passport is just the beginning. We can help you get the most out of it.

Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are innovative tools designed to collect, aggregate, and share comprehensive data about a product throughout its entire lifecycle.

You’re likely to need one if you manufacture, import or sell physical goods in the European Union (EU). The timelines for this new requirement vary by industry, but they start coming into effect in 2027, and by 2030 many physical goods will need one.

We can help you get ahead of that regulation. But the value of an Anthesis DPP isn’t simply the passport itself… it’s knowing where it can take you.
