6.2.7 Digital Product Passport support
Product information can support better recovery. Digital Product Passports can help future users, repairers, sorters and recyclers understand what a product is made of and how it should be handled.
Useful information may include:
- fibre composition,
- trims and accessories,
- dyes and finishes,
- care instructions,
- repair information,
- certifications,
- recycled content,
- disassembly instructions, recommended recovery route.
Digital information does not solve recovery by itself, but it can make sorting and decision-making easier when connected to real recovery systems.
