Supplier data collection
Request and validate composition, origin, environmental and compliance information directly from suppliers.
Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation 2024/1781
Digital Product Passport software for ESPR compliance.
EU Digital Product Passport requirements are being introduced through product-specific ESPR measures and separate legislation for batteries, toys and detergents. Companies need to connect required product information to supporting supplier evidence and make it accessible to the right users.
Move beyond the QR code and turn fragmented supplier and product information into maintained Digital Product Passports. Circularise helps teams collect evidence, trace data across products, components and materials, and share the right information through QR codes, APIs and permissioned access without exposing commercially sensitive data.

WHAT CIRCULARISE COVERS
Different products, different rules, the same work underneath
Whichever delegated act applies to you, the job is the same. Get the data out of suppliers, connect it to the product record, and control who sees which part.
Circularise brings those layers together across supplier data collection, chain-of-custody traceability, and governed disclosure for product passports.
Product and material traceability
Connect product records to sites, transactions, and upstream evidence so values are defensible when customers or regulators ask.
Governed passport publishing
Publish QR-code accessible views while keeping sensitive commercial data limited to the right audiences.
Implementation workflow
Move from compliance requirement to operating system.
Digital Product Passport readiness works best when the programme is built as an ongoing data workflow, not a one-time report.
- 1
Collect required data
Map Digital Product Passport fields to owners, suppliers and systems, then automate the evidence requests that usually slow teams down.
- 2
Connect the record
Link product identifiers, materials, components, supplier evidence and lifecycle events into an auditable data trail.
- 3Outputs
Share the right view
Expose the right passport data through QR codes, APIs and partner access, prepare identifiers and registration information for applicable EU DPP Registry requirements, and retain control over sensitive fields.
DPP data model
Prepare the fields that matter before product-specific rules apply.
Exact requirements will differ by product group, but companies already know the core work: product identity, supplier data, composition, sustainability evidence and lifecycle information need clear owners and supporting proof.
Product identity
Create a durable product record that can be linked to the physical product and maintained throughout its lifecycle.
- Model, batch and unique identifiers
- Manufacturer and production location
- Product category and classification
Materials and sustainability evidence
Back product composition, environmental performance and circularity information with structured supplier data and auditable documentation.
- Material and component composition
- Recycled content and substances of concern
- Carbon footprint and environmental information
- Origin and chain-of-custody evidence
Lifecycle information
Keep the passport useful after sale with governed access to repair, reuse and end-of-life information.
- Durability, repair and maintenance data
- Refurbishment and remanufacturing updates
- Dismantling and recycling instructions
DPP readiness
What to do now if Digital Product Passport readiness matters.
The teams that prepare, sell and comply best will have a clear operational answer to the same question: where does every passport value come from?
- 01
Confirm product scope
Identify which product families, markets and customer contracts need Digital Product Passport support first.
- 02
Prioritise supplier data
Start with fields that depend on upstream suppliers, because they are the hardest to reconstruct later.
- 03
Define access rules
Separate public, partner, customer and regulator views before sensitive data reaches a QR-code destination.
- 04
Connect existing systems
Plan integrations with ERP, PLM, LCA and compliance systems so the passport becomes a maintained product record.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Digital Product Passport?
A Digital Product Passport is a digital identity for a product, component or material. It connects structured information on product characteristics, composition, origin, compliance, environmental performance and lifecycle management.
Does every product placed on the EU market need a DPP?
Not at the moment. Under the ESPR, there is no general obligation for every product to have a Digital Product Passport. DPP requirements will be introduced progressively through product-specific delegated acts. Separate EU legislation also introduces DPP requirements for specific categories, including batteries, construction products, toys, and detergents and surfactants.
When will Digital Product Passports become mandatory?
There is no single deadline for every product. The first mandatory passport will be the Battery Passport, applying from 18 February 2027. Other DPP requirements will follow through product-specific legislation following the ESPR Working Plan, with each act determining its own requirements and application date.
Is every Digital Product Passport created at item level?
No. Product-specific legislation may require a passport at model, batch or item level depending on the product and intended use cases.
Will all information be publicly accessible?
No. The applicable product rules will determine who can access each data field. Some information may be public, while technical, commercial or enforcement-related data may be restricted.
Can one system support multiple product categories?
Yes. A common DPP solution can support different categories provided it can accommodate their specific data models, identifiers, vocabularies, access rights and legal requirements.
