All packaging
In force, phasing in

PPWR harmonised labelling: material composition and sorting instructions on every package, QR codes allowed. The regulation itself has applied since 12 August 2026. How we handle it →

More categories follow as delegated acts are adopted through 2030: iron & steel, tyres, furniture, mattresses, aluminium.

How it works

01

Pick a template

Each product category has a template that tracks the applicable EU rules: required fields, access rights, formats.

02

Fill in a guided form

Plain-language questions with curated pick-lists, not legal prose. Material codes and sorting streams are derived automatically.

03

Print the QR code

Every published passport gets a hosted public page and a print-ready QR code for your product or packaging.

Ready today for 5 categories

Generic ESPR baseline

ESPR (EU) 2024/1781 — common information requirements (Annex I/III)

Textiles & Apparel

ESPR delegated act for textiles (expected 2027; obligations ~18 months later)

Battery (EU Battery Regulation)

Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Annex XIII — mandatory from 18 February 2027

Coffee (transparency + EUDR)

Voluntary transparency passport + two mandatory EU obligations: EUDR (EU 2023/1115) due diligence for the coffee, and PPWR (EU 2025/40) material/sorting labelling for the packaging (from ~Aug 2028, QR-friendly).

Packaging (PPWR)

Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 — harmonised material + sorting labelling from ~12 August 2028; exact codes follow the Commission implementing act due August 2026.

Mandatory passports where the rules exist, voluntary transparency passports where your customers want the story. New categories are a template away, never a rebuild.

Built for compliance, not just for show

Immutable version history

Every publish is snapshotted. Regulators can see what the passport said at any point in time, required by ESPR, automatic here.

Public and restricted data

EU rules give consumers, customs and recyclers different access. Every field has regulation-prescribed visibility; your voluntary fields are up to you.

Hosted in the EU

Application and data run in Amsterdam. Passport pages are fast, free to access, and carry no cookies or trackers.

Machine-readable by default

Every passport is available as structured JSON at the same address, ready for retailers, recyclers and the coming EU registry.

Regulation tracking built in

Templates are versioned. When a delegated act finalises new fields, you see exactly which passports need review. No lawyer required.

URLs that outlive rebrands

A QR printed on packaging must work for the product's lifetime. Passport addresses never change once published.

Common questions

Is a Digital Product Passport already mandatory?+

Not yet for most products. The framework (ESPR) is in force and the first hard deadline is battery passports on 18 February 2027; textiles are expected around 2028, and every product category gets an 18-month transition once its rules are adopted. Packaging labelling under the PPWR applies to essentially all packaged goods from August 2028. Starting early means the deadline is a non-event.

I sell food or coffee, do I need a passport?+

Food is excluded from ESPR, so no mandatory product passport will exist for the coffee itself. But your packaging falls under the PPWR labelling rules (~2028), and coffee imports carry EUDR due-diligence duties today. Our coffee passport covers both, and the origin story on the same QR is what your customers actually scan for.

How is this different from a page on my own website?+

A passport is structured, machine-readable compliance data with regulation-prescribed fields, immutable version history, and access rules, not marketing copy. It also has to outlive your website redesigns: a QR printed on packaging must keep working for the product's lifetime, which is an infrastructure promise, not a webpage.

Do I need to understand the regulations myself?+

No, that is the product. Each category template asks plain-language questions with curated pick-lists; official material codes and sorting instructions are derived automatically, and a compliance check verifies formats before you can publish. When rules change, your template updates and tells you exactly which fields to review.

What happens to my passports if I stop paying?+

Published passports stay online. Availability is a legal requirement and we treat it as one. Going over a plan limit or ending a subscription pauses publishing new passports, never access to existing ones. Your data is exportable at any time.

Who can see the data I enter?+

You decide, within the rules: every field is either public (shown to anyone who scans) or restricted (reserved for authorised parties like customs and market surveillance). Voluntary fields have a per-passport toggle. Public pages carry no cookies or trackers, and everything is hosted in the EU.

The rules are written. Being ready takes five minutes.
