EU switches on DPP Registry

BRUSSELS – The European Commission has officially launched the EU’s Digital Product Passport (DPP) Registry and testing environment, in what it describes as a “practical reality” phase for products placed on the single market – including textiles and apparel in future delegated acts.

Built under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, the registry is the central infrastructure where economic operators must register each product passport’s unique identifier and metadata, even though the underlying data will remain decentralised.
