The electronics industry faces some of the strictest Digital Product Passport requirements in the EU. With WEEE, RoHS, Battery Regulation, and Right to Repair all converging, electronics manufacturers need a comprehensive DPP strategy.
This guide covers everything electronics companies need to know about DPP compliance for smartphones, laptops, appliances, and ICT equipment.
The furniture industry faces a critical compliance deadline.

If you're facing EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements, one of your first questions is likely: "How much will this cost?"
The answer isn't simple. DPP costs vary dramatically based on your implementation approach, product catalog size, and feature requirements. This guide breaks down every cost component, compares solution types, and helps you calculate the best option for your business.
Creating a Digital Product Passport sounds complex, but with the right platform, you can go from zero to live, EU-compliant DPPs in under 30 minutes—no coding required.
This step-by-step tutorial walks you through the entire process using Sustalium, from account setup to QR code generation.
When Portuguese sustainable textiles company Mad Fibers needed to prepare for EU Digital Product Passport requirements, they faced a common SME challenge: limited resources, tight deadlines, and complex compliance needs.
This is the story of how Mad Fibers went from zero to live, EU-compliant DPPs in under 30 minutes using Sustalium's product-agnostic platform.
Here's something most DPP guides don't tell you: a smartphone DPP and a dining chair DPP have almost nothing in common. One needs battery chemistry, repairability scores, and WEEE compliance data. The other needs FSC certification, wood sourcing, and disassembly instructions. If you're using a generic template for both, you're either missing required fields or drowning in irrelevant ones.
That's why sector-specific templates exist. Sustalium provides six of them, and they'll save you weeks of field configuration. Here's what each one covers and how to pick the right one.
