FAQs

What is the digital product passport Germany?

Germany is actively involved in the development and implementation of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) as part of the broader European Union initiative. The DPP is part of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) proposed by the European Commission in March 2022.

What is the timeline for the EU DPP?

European Union will implement a new DPP regulation starting in 2024 requiring all textile products sold in the EU to feature a Digital Product Passport (DPP) as part of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). The full adoption of DPP is expected from 2026 onwards.

What is an example of a digital product passport?

You can find a sample digital product passport created by Carbon Trail for a footwear product. The detailed DPP version covers additional product and circularity information. 

What is the digital product passport EU regulation?

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a key initiative being introduced by the European Union as part of its sustainability and circular economy efforts. The regulation applies to products sold in the EU market, including imports. Information must be accessible through electronic means, likely via QR codes or RFID tags.

What is the digital product passport lifecycle?

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) utilises data derived from Life Cycle Analyses of a fashion product to inform customers about a product’s environmental impact. The DPP usually integrate the climate impact data with additional information on product traceability details, care instructions, repairability, recyclability, and end-of-life options.

August 2025 Product Updates: Uncertainty, Sensitivity, and Smarter Data Collection



Measuring product footprints is hard work. Data is often incomplete, assumptions creep in, and getting inputs from across teams and facilities can be a challenge.

At Carbon Trail, our goal is to make lifecycle assessments (LCAs) more reliable, transparent, and easier to manage. This month, we’re excited to announce three new capabilities designed to do just that.

📊 Uncertainty Analysis

When you calculate a product footprint, you now get more than just a single number.

  • Each result includes a 95% confidence interval, showing the range your impact is likely to fall within.

  • You also see the uncertainty contribution of each process or material. For example, knitting might account for 50% of your uncertainty, while spinning contributes 22%.

This makes it easier to know where to focus your data collection efforts to narrow the range and improve accuracy.

⚖️ Sensitivity Analysis

Sometimes, you’re not fully sure about an input—like product weight or energy use. Instead of guessing, you can now test scenarios.

  • Run calculations with different values (e.g., 150 g, 200 g, 250 g).

  • Compare results side by side to see how sensitive your footprint is to changes.

This gives you confidence about which assumptions matter most, and which ones won’t significantly affect your results.

📩 Data Requests

Collecting data across teams and facilities is often the hardest part of carbon accounting. We’ve built a workflow to make it easier:

  • Create structured requests for data (e.g., energy, transport, fuels).

  • Assign responsibilities to specific users and facilities.

  • Set priorities and deadlines, and track responses in one place.

  • Once approved, the submitted data flows directly into your inventory and emissions are calculated automatically.

This keeps your data collection organized, auditable, and less reliant on messy email chains.

With these updates, Carbon Trail makes it easier to handle uncertainty, test assumptions, and collaborate on data collection—all critical steps toward accurate and actionable LCAs.
