EPEA's Digital Product Passports: Unlocking Circularity in the Construction Industry

Innovative Database Simplifies Life Cycle Assessments and Compliance

Data and Transparency for Sustainable Construction

Since 2021, the EPEA (Environmental Protection Encouragement Agency) has been actively collecting and storing all life cycle assessments (LCAs) and Circularity Passports in a comprehensive internal database. This initiative aligns with the European Union's Circular Economy Action Plan, which recognizes the importance of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) as key regulatory elements.

The construction industry often faces challenges in data availability and material tracking. EPEA's database addresses these obstacles by providing a centralized platform for storing and accessing vital information. The Digital Product Passport (DPP), currently under development by the European Commission (EC), aims to facilitate compliance and transparency in the industry.
