The grace period is over. With the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the European Union is getting serious. Starting in 2026, the Digital Product Passport (DPP) will become mandatory for many product categories. Companies that cannot seamlessly prove where their components come from and what their ecological footprint is risk losing market access in the EU. For medium-sized manufacturing companies, this is a massive challenge.
The Dangerous Excel Chaos in the Supply Chain When you ask a Tier-2 or Tier-3 supplier for material data today, what happens? You receive PDFs via email, poorly formatted Excel lists, and handwritten delivery notes. Until now, this chaos has been barely managed through manual administrative work. But under the ESPR directive, this method is a massive compliance risk. Manual data entry is error-prone, completely unscalable, and not audit-proof.
The Solution: Automating Supply Chain Data To meet ESPR requirements and efficiently generate the Digital Product Passport, you don't need a three-year IT project. You need a clear data architecture that connects to your existing ERP systems and forces suppliers to provide data in a standardized, digital format. This is exactly where Etmita Passport comes in. We have developed a software solution specifically tailored to the pain points of B2B manufacturing companies. We automate the data flow from your raw material suppliers all the way to the final consumer QR code on the finished product. No more paperwork, no more endless email chains. Only legally compliant, structured data, bundled in a central Digital Product Passport. Don't wait for the first compliance warning. Let's analyze how vulnerable your current supply chain tracking is to the new EU directives and how we can digitally secure this process.
