| Abstract: | Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are the tool that aims to develop against climate change and emissions at the manufacturing level. As their development is on-going, a consensus about data structure, granularity, protocols, infrastructure and accessibility is targeted to be reached by 2026. The current process of gathering and inserting the previously mentioned data is mostly reliant on the manufacturers and suppliers, whilst gathering data from the usage part of the product’s life cycle has proved difficult. The data is also stored on several non-centralized databases, with varied degrees of granularity and relatively unilateral data flow. This thesis aims to analyse how Environmental Management Systems can help to bring widespread DPP implementation closer to reality by providing a starting point for any size of enterprise and how newly active directives will affect research and policy-making in this domain. One such directive is the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), aiming to standardize sustainability reporting. Following an exploratory literary review, this thesis seeks to bring forward a proposal aimed at companies which will lead to a smoother process and transition to the DPP standard. |
