Climate tech company Greenly has launched a Digital Product Passport (DPP) solution designed to help manufacturers prepare for upcoming European product transparency requirements.
The platform brings together lifecycle assessment (LCA) data, supplier information, and regulatory intelligence, allowing businesses to structure and maintain the information required for DPP as requirements under the European Union’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) develop.
DPPs are expected to become an important part of Europe’s approach to product sustainability and traceability. Depending on the product category, they may contain information covering environmental impact, material composition, supply chain traceability and end-of-life considerations.
For manufacturers, preparing this information can be challenging, with relevant data often spread across ERP systems, supplier portals and third-party assessments. Greenly said its platform is intended to replace fragmented, manual processes with a more continuous approach to DPP creation and maintenance.
The solution starts with a product’s bill of materials (BOM), matching components against available datasets to provide an initial estimate of its environmental footprint. Suppliers can then submit material declarations, energy certificates and process data through Greenly’s portal.
LCA results are subsequently structured into DPP-ready data, while passports can be hosted by Greenly and accessed through unique identifiers and, where required, QR codes. The company indicated that its passports can also be updated as supplier information and regulatory requirements change.
Implementation is designed to take place in stages, beginning with setup and scoping before supply chain data collection and passport generation.
The launch comes as the EU progressively introduces ESPR requirements through product-specific measures. The bloc’s 2025-2030 working plan identifies sectors including textiles, furniture, mattresses, tyres, iron and steel, aluminium and ICT products as priorities.
Alexis Normand, CEO of Greenly, described DPP as a “natural extension” of the company’s existing work around LCA, supply chain data and regulatory monitoring.
Greenly said its new solution is available now, with capabilities including BOM imports, automated product-footprint matching, supplier data collection, passport hosting and unique identifier generation.
It added that proposition is intended to give manufacturers a foundation for managing DPP requirements as sector-specific rules become clearer, rather than treating each new regulatory obligation as a standalone project.
