epeaswitzerland Launches Digital Product Passport Compass with Cradle to Cradle Integration
Swiss sustainability experts offer comprehensive solution for EU's mandatory digital product transparency requirements
Widnau, Switzerland – epeaswitzerland, the Widnau-based specialist for innovations based on the proven Cradle to Cradle concept and circular economy, is offering as an independent third party a Digital Product Passport Compass Cradle to Cradle™ (DPPCCC) that also takes into account future legal requirements.
As digital product passports become mandatory for all products sold in the EU area due to an EU regulation and are being introduced successively, epeaswitzerland's innovative solution provides companies with legal compliance certainty while advancing circular economy implementation.
The digital product pass provides comprehensive information about their origin, materials, environmental impact and disposal recommendations. This is intended to increase transparency in product value chains. epeaswitzerland's DPPCCC goes beyond basic compliance requirements by integrating the company's strengths and future potential alongside legal mandates.
Dynamic, Future-Proof Approach
Unlike static certifications, the DPPCCC is dynamically structured so that a company's ongoing efforts and developments to make its own products circular can be immediately documented and visualized. This real-time approach ensures companies can showcase continuous improvement in their sustainability journey.
The solution serves multiple frameworks: It serves not only as a supplement to the EU product passport, but is also used within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and sustainability reporting according to Global Reporting Initiative.
Swiss Precision Meets Global Standards
According to company founder Albin Kälin, epeaswitzerland's expertise should be "as useful as a Swiss Army knife and as directional as a compass" for users. The company supports the industry as an independent, impartial assessor and is ISO 9001 certified.
This comprehensive approach addresses the growing regulatory landscape where the EU's Digital Product Passport requirements will roll out across multiple product categories from 2027-2030, starting with batteries and expanding to textiles, furniture, construction materials, and detergents.
