Digital product passport (DPP)

Unisot's digital product passport (or DPP for short) is a crucial part of our Home@ix tech collection. Unisot already complies with the new EU Act on Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) including the “EU Digital Product Passport”. Under new EU regulations which are coming into force over time, the EU DPP must make sure that everyone along the value chain, including consumers (that's you), economic operators (that's us) and national authorities, can access product information relevant to them, as well as include the necessary data to track 'all substances of concern' throughout the life cycle of the product (your home and the parts that make up your home).

DPP will also improve traceability of products along the value chain and facilitate the verification of product compliance by national authorities. Although we don't have to comply with these regulations right now, they are industry best practice and we plan to be ahead of the curve by implementing them now. It really is like a passport for your home, it'll give you (and anyone who lives there after you) important information about what went into building your home. The information in the passport makes running and repairing your home easier too.

External and internal benefits

In each of the following areas, the Digital Product Passport introduces a level of efficiency, transparency, and accountability that can transform how companies manage their products, interact with stakeholders, and comply with regulatory standards, all while contributing positively to societal and environmental goals.

External

Branding and marketing

This feature enriches the product’s story and appeal by providing detailed narratives, attractive images, and engaging videos. It helps in establishing a strong brand identity and emotional connection with the consumer, enhancing marketing efforts.

Verified product details

A unique id and QR-code gives access to a wealth of information such as origin, ingredients, journey through the supply chain and sustainability practices. This plays a crucial role in combating counterfeit products. Consumers can verify the authenticity to ensure they receive genuine products.

Provable data

Digitally signed data from verified sources on the blockchain ensures data is provable, with creators held legally accountable. This solidifies data integrity, enables transparent traceability, and upholds the authenticity and legal liability for information entered.

Direct feedback

Creates a direct communication channel for customers to share feedback about their product experiences. This feedback is crucial for businesses to gain insights into consumer preferences and improve their products and services accordingly.

Loyalty certificates

Allows customers to buy loyalty certificates, directly supporting the people involved in the production of the product or contributing to charitable causes. This feature builds a sense of community and goodwill and strengthens customer loyalty to the brand.

Circular economy

Encourages eco-friendly responsible behavior by offering incentives for returning packaging materials. This not only promotes recycling but also aligns the brand with sustainability goals and the principles of a circular economy.

Internal

Targeted product recall

Facilitates rapid identification and tracking of products in the event of a recall, minimizing risk to consumers and reputational damage. The passport’s detailed product history allows for targeted recalls, ensuring only affected products are withdrawn.

Data sharing

Offers access to critical data sharing across the supply chain, enabling faster, more informed decision-making. Detailed product data helps in responding quickly to market demands, inventory needs and operational changes.

Compliance

Ensures compliance with the new ESPR and DPP regulations by enhancing product traceability, providing accessible and comprehensive product information, and facilitating environmental impact reporting, all of which are key aspects of these regulations.

Auditability

E2E Traceability plays a pivotal role in enhancing the auditability of the mineral supply chain. By providing a secure, transparent, and comprehensive data repository, it enables auditors to effectively verify compliance, assess ethical practices, and ensure responsible sourcing throughout the supply chain.

Social impact

Demonstrates commitment to social responsibility and responsible products. This transparency supports corporate social responsibility initiatives and aligns with consumer expectations for socially conscious brands.

Quality control

The Digital Product Passport plays a crucial role in quality control. It allows for better collaboration across the supply chain and helps companies to quickly identify and rectify any quality issues, ensuring ambitious standards are consistently met.
