European Union · Digital Product Passport

The physical anchor for the Digital Product Passport.

ESPR 2024/1781. Phased 2027–2030. Delegated acts, category by category.

The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation makes a Digital Product Passport mandatory across most physical goods sold in the EU. Aeroz binds each unit to its passport, so the digital record and the physical item cannot be separated.

The problem

A passport is only as trustworthy as its link to the item.

A DPP is a digital record — material content, origin, repairability, compliance. But the record is meaningless if it cannot be tied with certainty to the physical unit in front of you. A printed QR or 2D code is data, not identity: it can be photographed, reprinted, and applied to a counterfeit or swapped onto a different item.

When the carrier can be cloned, the passport it points to inherits the same doubt.

What Aeroz does

Bind the unit to the passport. Make the link unforgeable.

A dual-frequency chip carries an AES-128 identity bonded to each unit; the GS1 Digital Link resolves that identity to the DPP; every custody change writes an EPCIS 2.0 event to an append-only log. The passport stops being a printed pointer and becomes a verifiable record of a specific physical item.

01 · Bound identity

Chip, not just a code.

A dual-frequency NFC + UHF chip with an AES-128 identity is bonded to each unit. A cloned QR resolves to the passport, but fails the cryptographic check the chip provides.

02 · Open resolution

GS1 Digital Link.

The unit resolves to its passport through GS1 Digital Link — the standard the EU and CIRPASS converge on. No proprietary lookup, no vendor lock to read the record.

03 · Defensible history

Append-only audit log.

Commission, ship, receive, repair, resell — each event lands in an append-only EPCIS 2.0 ledger with no UPDATE, DELETE, or TRUNCATE for any role. The passport's history can't be quietly rewritten.

The categories rolling out

Delegated acts, one category at a time.

ESPR sets the framework; delegated acts switch on the DPP product group by product group through 2030. The priority categories are already named.

Priority · first wave

Textiles & apparel

Fibre composition, origin, and durability — the lead category for DPP enforcement.

EEE

Electronics

Electrical and electronic equipment: components, substances, and repairability data.

Interiors

Furniture

Materials, finishes, and disassembly information for repair and second life.

Industrial metals

Steel & aluminium

Grade, recycled content, and embodied-carbon attribution per batch.

Automotive

Tyres

Construction, materials, and lifecycle data tied to each unit produced.

Built environment

Construction products

Composition and performance declarations aligned to the construction framework.

What data you gain

A passport that records what happened.

Authenticity events

Every verification — where, when, pass or fail — on the append-only log.

Custody chain

Each handoff from line to retail as a signed EPCIS 2.0 event.

Material & origin attribution

Composition, recycled content, and provenance bound to the unit, not a SKU.

Repair & second-life events

Repairs, refurbishments, and ownership changes written to the same record.

Tamper & seal state

Armed or breached, per unit, the moment the seal state changes.

Regulator exports

Unit-level custody and DPP data fields, generated from one log on demand.

Built on the open standards the EU Digital Product Passport converges on
