What is a Digital
Product Passport?

Did you know? The concept of the Digital Product Passport — then called the Material Passport — was invented by Upcyclea’s founders within the European BAMB research programme in 2015. We have been building this infrastructure for a decade.

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a unique digital file associated with each construction product — accessible via QR code or NFC/RFID chip — containing verified, standardised ESG information across its full lifecycle.

It is a key instrument of the European ESPR regulation on sustainable product eco-design (June 2024), and the cornerstone of circular construction, embodied carbon calculation and reuse at scale.

Upcyclea · Since 2016

We didn’t adopt the DPP standard. We invented it.
In 2015, the founders of Upcyclea and the EU BAMB project teams created the Material Passport — the direct precursor to today’s European DPP regulation. Inspired by Cradle to Cradle, it was designed so that buildings could be conceived as material banks, maximising reuse and decarbonisation from the earliest stages of design.
