Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are digital records that encapsulate detailed information about a product’s origin, composition, manufacturing processes, usage, and end-of-life handling. By leveraging blockchain technology, DPPs ensure that this information is securely stored, immutable, and transparently accessible to all stakeholders, including manufacturers, consumers, and recyclers. This comprehensive traceability facilitates informed decision-making, encourages responsible consumption, and supports efficient recycling and resource recovery, thereby advancing circular economy objectives. The study “Digital Product Passport: A Pathway to Circularity and Sustainability in the Manufacturing Industry” explores the potential benefits and applications of DPP systems within modern manufacturing. It emphasizes how DPPs can enhance product lifecycle management, promote sustainability, and support circular economy practices by providing transparent and traceable product information.
