GTIN
In common parlance, many people know the GTIN as a barcode, but technically the GTIN is the number below the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is digital sustainability data of the lifecycle of physical products, which, in combination with GS1 standards, allows you to verify, manage and make visible the sustainability of your product in practice.
Digital product passports outline circular products and business models. In this way, the product passport assigns a unique identity to the product, which is linked to one or more data sources - giving businesses and consumers easy access to product information such as: Durability, origin, warranty, recycling, and instructions for assembly or repairs directly from the supplier - or other data sources chosen by the supplier.

Europe is at the beginning of its transformation to a more circular economy and aims to become the world's most sustainable region. Digital product passports are included in a new EU legislative framework - the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), as part of the EU Green Deal, with the aim of fulfilling Europe's commitment to the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The proposal covers virtually all physical products on the European market in all product areas with the exception of food, animal feed and medical products, where other legislation with similar requirements applies. The law is expected to enter into force in early 2024, after which the rules will be rolled out gradually until 2030.
EU legislation on product passports ensures consistent information management and provides the necessary tools to achieve and follow up on companies' own sustainability goals and increase consumer interaction.
Consumers receive product data via their smartphone to support their sustainable choices.
Unique identities and standardized data make it visible that all parties in the value chain meet sustainability requirements.
Open sustainability data provides greater international visibility for businesses and consumers through the supply chain.
Reliable and verified data protects products, consumers and patients, and ensures that everyone has the same information.
Buyers and producing companies avoid unnecessary manual administration and handling of data.
Standardized information ensures that companies comply with laws, regulations and industry requirements.

GS1 standards enable digital product passports to work in practice. In particular, standards for identification, labeling and sharing, including 2D barcodes and GS1 Digital Link, are particularly relevant for digital product passports. This means that GS1 standards allow online access and product information from the same barcode to be scanned by consumers with a mobile phone, at the checkout - and by all parties in the supply chain.
GS1 Denmark has a driving role in enabling solutions for digital product passports. We are active in the global standardization work at GS1 to further future-proof DPP.
