Done some home improvements, have you? Stuck with a bunch of paint cans, are you? Probably most of them with some leftover paint, too? Not sure how to get rid of them, are you? How to get rid of them responsibly, that is. The paint might be water-based but that doesn't mean that it's harmless to pour wherever you choose. Then there are all the other types of paints; based on solvents, on oil... In just a few years, the European Union is due to introduce digital product passports, requiring products to be accompanied by information on environmental impact and responsible waste handling. Paints, chemicals and detergents is one of the industries first in line. Then, all that info will be at your fingertips. Literally. At least if those fingertips hold a smartphone. ------------------------------ digitalproductpassport .com – Join the place to learn, share and discuss the coming EU digital product passports. #DigitalProductPassports #ESPR 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘍𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘮 𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘬

Add one more reason for consumers to check out Digital Product Passports: product safety. Consumers aren't walking their talk when it comes to environmental responsibility, research shows according to Johan Anselmsson, Professor in Marketing and Branding at Lund University School of Economics & Management. They say they are prepared to reduce consumption or change their buying behaviour to help protect our environment, but at the point of sale, the wallet still seems to have the final say. Consumers are more concerned with their own health and safety, Johan Anselmsson explains. This is corroborated by the EUIPO report from 2022 regarding young Europeans and counterfeit products. A main conclusion of the report is that the arguments able to sway those who intentionally bought counterfeit products were egocentric, not altruistic. Therefore, we simply suggest increasing the scope of the DPP project to include verified certificates of product safety; CE compliance, absence of harmful chemicals, toy safety..... That might give consumers a "selfish reason" to scan the QR code and attention being  brought to the circular and environmental information as a bonus. Earlier, we have highlighted that, once the infrastructure is in place for handling DPP data, it can just as well be used to carry other data as well. Health and safety certifications should be top of that list, we think.

To be honest, there hasn't been a huge amount to smile about this week. One thing that is cheering me up is the increasing volume of calls we are getting at Kezzler about Digital Product Passports. I'm genuinely delighted to see so many brands getting serious about the EU Green Deal. Whatever you think about the regulations themselves (and the pace of them 😳 ) the rules are designed to help save our planet, and we can all get behind that. Here at Kezzler, we didn't just wait and see - we rolled up our sleeves 18 months ago and dove right in. We're actively shaping the future through our work with CIRPASS-2 and CEN-CENELEC (they are a mouthful but so much great work is coming from there), and with projects like our Holzweiler DPP implementation, we're not just talking about it - we're doing it. Seeing companies step up and take this seriously... well, it gives me hope. And if you're reading this thinking 'we need to get moving on DPP too,' then please drop me a line. We've got the experience, we've got the tools, and we'd love to help. You have to start the conversation to get anywhere. Have a restful weekend everyone. #DigitalProductPassport #Sustainability #FutureOfRetail
