Get DPP-Ready Before Your Product Group's Deadline — via QR
The EU's Digital Product Passport is arriving product group by product group through 2030. A dynamic QR-linked data layer is the most pragmatic way to prepare early.
ESPR Will Make a Machine-Readable Product History Mandatory — Group by Group
The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR, Regulation (EU) 2024/1781) empowers the Commission to require a Digital Product Passport for a product group through a dedicated delegated act. The first Working Plan (2025–2030) prioritises iron & steel, aluminium, textiles, furniture and tyres; batteries are covered separately under the Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, whose battery passport applies from February 2027. The textiles delegated act is expected around 2027, with mandatory application realistically 2028 or later. When it applies, the DPP must be machine-readable and reachable via a data carrier (a QR code or similar) and carry sustainability data such as material composition, recyclability and repair information. Penalties are set by each Member State under ESPR Article 74 and must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive; national proposals range up to market withdrawal and substantial fines. The lead time is the reason to start now, not a specific 2026 deadline.
A GS1 Digital Link Passport, Live Today — Structured Data Behind Every QR
QRSansar mints each product a GS1 Digital Link QR — https://qrsansar.com/01/{GTIN} — the standard EU data-carrier format. Scanning it resolves to a structured Digital Product Passport: a localised consumer page for shoppers, and machine-readable JSON-LD (schema.org + a DPP vocabulary) returned from the same URL when a recycler or regulator requests it — the ESPR expectation of real structured data behind the carrier, not a PDF. You create and edit passports in your dashboard at /dash/dpp; because resolution is server-side, you can expand the data as your product group's delegated act is finalised without reprinting the code already on the product. See a live sample at /dpp/sample (add ?format=json for the machine-readable view).
Each product with a GTIN gets a canonical /01/{GTIN} GS1 Digital Link QR — scans on any phone camera and carries the identifier in the format EU standards point to. Products without a GTIN resolve by slug instead.
Capture material composition, origin, recyclability, carbon footprint, repair, hazardous substances and take-back. The passport renders a consumer page in the visitor's EU language automatically.
The same URL returns schema.org + DPP JSON-LD to machines — so recyclers, marketplaces and regulators can read the data programmatically, exactly as ESPR intends.
Capabilities Designed for Enterprise Operations
The passport page picks up the shopper's language from their browser and renders labels in the major EU languages — no per-product translation work. More languages are added over time.
Enter the material composition and the passport also publishes a computed recyclable share by weight — shown with the exact derivation and labelled an indicative estimate, not a regulatory conformity assessment. Your own recyclability statement is always published alongside it, never replaced.
Every create and edit appends an immutable, timestamped snapshot. You see a per-passport history of what changed and when; regulators can pull the full record as JSON-LD from the passport's own URL (?format=history), discoverable via the GS1 linkset.
What You See When You Log In
Representative dashboard — your data, your branding.
Estimate Your Potential Penalty Exposure
Under ESPR Article 74, penalties are set by each Member State — there is no single EU-wide figure. Some national proposals reference amounts up to 4% of annual turnover, which we use here only as an illustrative upper bound to frame the value of preparing early:
Built for Enterprise Digital Product Passport
Real GS1 Digital Link
Passport QRs are canonical GS1 Digital Links (/01/{GTIN}) — the leading data-carrier format for DPP, referenced by the emerging CEN/CENELEC standards. The resolver is GS1-conformant: it honours the ?linkType query, serves an RFC 9264 linkset, and publishes a /.well-known/gs1resolver descriptor. One QR both scans on any camera and carries the GTIN a machine can read.
Structured Data, Not a PDF
The same URL serves a human consumer page and schema.org + DPP JSON-LD to machines. That is exactly what ESPR asks for — a carrier that resolves to structured, machine-readable data — and it works today.
Tracks the ESPR Delegated Acts
The passport data model captures the fields common across the draft acts and keeps an extensible bag for group-specific fields, so it grows with the standards as each delegated act is finalised — without reprinting the code.

How to Set Up QRSansar for Digital Product Passport
- Create a Passport
In your dashboard at /dash/dpp, enter the product's data — name, GTIN, material composition, origin, recyclability, carbon, repair and take-back. Save as a draft or publish. Onboarding a whole range? Import a catalogue at once from a CSV.
- Print the GS1 Digital Link QR
QRSansar generates a GS1 Digital Link QR (/01/{GTIN}) for the product. Download it and hand it to your packaging workflow — the same code stays valid as the data changes.
- Preview the Consumer Experience
Share /dpp/sample with stakeholders to show exactly what a shopper sees on scan, and /dpp/sample?format=json to show the machine-readable JSON-LD a recycler or regulator receives.
- Keep It Current
Update the passport in the dashboard whenever data or rules change; because resolution is server-side, every QR already printed instantly serves the updated passport — no reprinting.
2026 DPP Readiness Checklist
Use this checklist to assess your organisation's readiness before the ESPR Digital Product Passport mandate takes effect.
- Assign a unique product identifier (GTIN, batch, serial) to every SKU sold into the EU
- Map material composition for each product — fibre, chemical, and substance data
- Document country of origin and manufacturing site addresses
- Record carbon footprint data per unit or per batch (Scope 1 + 2 minimum)
- Identify repair and spare-parts availability with estimated service life
- Attach a machine-readable data carrier (QR code per GS1 Digital Link standard) to each product unit
- Ensure the QR resolves to a URL that returns structured JSON-LD data, not a PDF
- Verify the data endpoint responds in all 24 EU official languages
- Confirm the carrier is durable — survives washing, handling, and shelf-life conditions
- Test scan accessibility for consumers, recyclers, and regulators via separate authenticated views
- Provide disassembly and repair instructions accessible without proprietary tools
- Declare recyclability index per EU taxonomy (percentage of recyclable content by weight)
- List hazardous substances present (SVHC threshold: >0.1% by weight per article)
- Document take-back and end-of-life disposal pathways for each product category
- Establish a versioning mechanism so data updates propagate without reprinting labels

Our team will map QRSansar Enterprise to your specific digital product passport workflow — no generic demo.
Informational only — not legal or compliance advice. QRSansar is a QR code and data-management platform, not a DPP conformity assessment body or notified body, and does not certify ESPR compliance. Digital Product Passport requirements are defined by ESPR delegated acts that are still being finalised per product group; verify your obligations against the official texts and your national authorities. Features described as 'roadmap' or 'planned' are not yet available.
