Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation
Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation – ESPR (EU) 2024/1781 introduces a new framework for products sold within the EU internal market. The regulation aims for products to be more durable, repairable, reusable, and recyclable from design to end-of-life, and mandates the Digital Product Passport (DPP) for this purpose.
Dijital Kimlik Kartı
The Digital Product Passport works like a “digital identity card” for products, components, and materials, collecting information on product origin, materials used, environmental performance, repair/reuse possibilities, and end-of-life management in one place and enabling sharing with relevant stakeholders throughout the value chain.
Mol-e Çözümü
Mol-e helps businesses prepare for and comply with Digital Product Passport obligations under ESPR by using its existing digital waste passport, online expertise, and recovery reporting infrastructure.
Why Digital Product Passport Service?
With ESPR, the Digital Product Passport will effectively become mandatory for many product groups entering the EU market in the coming years; sustainability data related to the product will be expected to be carried digitally with the product.
- Your products become traceable and transparent
- Stakeholders across the supply chain work on the same data set
- You establish an infrastructure compatible with the EU Green Deal, circular economy, and EPR obligations
- You can present verifiable sustainability claims to competent authorities and your customers
What Can You Do with Mol-e Digital Product Passport Service?
Digitize Your Product and Waste Inventory
You define your product families, models, and variants on the Mol-e platform. E-waste and other waste streams generated at the end of the product life cycle are mapped with the digital waste passport infrastructure. Thus, an end-to-end data chain extending from product design to the waste phase is established.
Establish an ESPR-Compliant DPP Data Model
ESPR requires the Digital Product Passport to be: Linked to a persistent unique product identifier via a data carrier physically attached to the product (QR code, barcode, RFID, etc.), Kept in open, machine-readable, structured, and interoperable data formats. Mol-e helps you categorize your product data according to this framework, standardize fields, and create a ready-to-use data model for DPP.
Collect Lifecycle Data (Production–Use–Recycling)
Data such as material composition, critical raw materials, energy consumption, service/repair history are linked to the product passport. With Mol-e’s online expertise and recovery reports, recycling performance and carbon savings at the end of product life can also be integrated into passport data. Thus, the “impact of decisions made at the design stage on the waste stage” becomes visible.
Facilitate Compliance, Audit, and Customer Communication
ESPR will introduce ecodesign requirements on issues such as durability, repairability, recyclability, and restriction of certain hazardous substances. By gathering data related to these requirements in a single panel, Mol-e helps you present: Digital files ready for audits, Ready-to-use output sets for ESG and sustainability reports, Transparent product information for your customers or B2B business partners.
Work Integrated with Digital Waste Passport
The Digital Waste Passport already offered by Mol-e records for your e-waste and other wastes: Collection, transport, recycling, and disposal steps, Recovery rates and carbon emission savings. When this infrastructure is combined with the Digital Product Passport under ESPR: Full traceability is provided from the birth of the product to the waste stage. A strong database is created for circular business models (resale, rental, remanufacturing).
How Does Mol-e Digital Product Passport Service Work?
Your product portfolio, target markets (especially EU), and existing data infrastructure are analyzed. A phased roadmap is drawn up for compliance with ESPR and other relevant legislation (WEEE, EPR, EU Green Deal, etc.).
Products, waste streams, and stakeholders (supplier, service, recycler) are defined on the Mol-e platform. Data fields and formats to be used for the Digital Product Passport are determined; structured according to open and interoperable standards as much as possible.
Data integration from your existing ERP/PLM/CRM systems to Mol-e can be performed. Data on the production, logistics, service, and recycling sides are combined in a single panel. Product passports are made accessible via data carriers associated with the product (QR, etc.).
Product-based and portfolio-based DPP reports are created. By monitoring your circular economy goals (recycling rate, reuse, carbon savings, etc.), design and procurement decisions are improved.
