The European Union is set to introduce a new regulation requiring Digital Product Passports (DPPs) for a range of electronics, including those with regulated batteries, consumer electronics, and ICT equipment by 2030. This initiative aims to foster transparency and sustainability within the electronics industry.
From 2027 onward, products entering the EU market must include a digital ID that details their carbon footprint, recyclability, repairability, and material origins. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in restricted market access within the EU.
Axil is assisting manufacturers in preparing for these forthcoming compliance requirements. The company provides solutions to help businesses collect and manage lifecycle data through its Customer Portal. It also helps manufacturers reuse and redistribute electronic assets that still have value, and transform end-of-life electronics into useful resources.
The concept of the Digital Product Passport represents a significant shift toward making the entire lifecycle story of a device, from raw materials to end-of-life, transparent and actionable. This new regulation underlines the importance of sustainability in manufacturing processes.
With the 2027 deadline approaching, companies are urged to evaluate their current systems and processes to ensure they are ready to meet the new standards. As the clock ticks, the pressure is on for electronics and ICT manufacturers to comply and embrace the changes ahead.
