Digital Product Passport Data Hosting
Under Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR), the economic operator placing a regulated product on the EU market is responsible for ensuring that a compliant Digital Product Passport is created, maintained and remains accessible for the required retention period. The European Commission's DPP Registry functions as a central index and proof-of-registration service; it does not store the detailed Digital Product Passport data. The passport content may be hosted by the responsible economic operator or by an independent Digital Product Passport Service Provider acting on its behalf. Global Circular Network provides this hosting, management and interoperability service while enabling economic operators to retain responsibility for the accuracy and compliance of their Digital Product Passport information.
