A Digital Product Passport is a structured, shareable record of a product’s identity, materials, and environmental data. Here is what it is, why the EU is introducing it, and how to get your product information ready.
A Digital Product Passport pulls together a unique product identifier (a GS1 Digital Link), materials, weight, recycled content, recyclability, repairability, and supporting documents. That information has to come from a single, trustworthy source — the product system you already run, or Utomo as a standalone passport layer on top of it.
Capture materials and environmental attributes next to the product they describe, or connect an existing product information system — Akeneo, inRiver, Pimcore, or Utomo — so the passport pulls product name, image, and attributes straight from your source of truth.
Publish or unpublish a passport, download it as a PDF, and share it through a QR code or NFC tag resolving to a GS1 Digital Link. Role-based views show consumers, economic operators, and market-surveillance authorities the data each is entitled to, and updates flow through without rebuilding documents by hand.
Issue passports on top of the product system you already run — no migration, no duplicate data entry.

The EU is phasing Sustainability requirements in by product group through the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), with detailed rules arriving via delegated acts. Batteries lead under the EU Battery Regulation, with the battery passport required from 18 February 2027; textiles, furniture, iron and steel, and other groups follow through the late 2020s, coordinated by the CIRPASS initiative. Always confirm the rules for your specific products.
Typically a unique identifier (a GS1 Digital Link), materials and composition, weight, recycled content, recyclability and repairability information, and links to compliance or environmental documents — with access controlled per audience: consumers, economic operators, and market-surveillance authorities.
Utomo lets you model packaging and components, capture material and environmental attributes, attach documents, and publish a QR- or NFC-linked passport per product — from the same workspace that holds your product information, or as a standalone passport tool layered on the product system you already run. Utomo provides tooling, not legal advice.
No. Utomo can run as a standalone Digital Product Passport layer on top of your existing product information system or ERP — Akeneo, inRiver, Pimcore, and others — pulling product data through a connector. When you are ready, you can bring those products into Utomo and grow into the full suite.
