Supporting circular economy and regulatory compliance
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, has announced the launch of its enhanced Digital Product Passport (DPP) suite of services. This includes a comprehensive advisory service designed to help manufacturers, brands and retailers navigate the fast-evolving regulatory and sustainability landscape associated with digital product passports and circular economy compliance.
Mark Thomas, Executive Vice President, Global Sustainability, Assurance, Agri World and Food at Intertek, said: “With the introduction of regulatory frameworks for improving the sustainability performance of products, companies are facing mounting pressure to implement robust systems for transparency, traceability and sustainability reporting globally. This shift marks a significant regulatory milestone, requiring organisations to strengthen data governance, engage suppliers more effectively and demonstrate credible, verifiable sustainability performance across the full product lifecycle.”
Intertek’s newly launched suite of services responds directly to this demand, helping organisations achieve compliance while embedding circular economy principles and supply chain integrity. The services provide organisations with a structured and reliable pathway to compliance by enabling alignment with current and emerging regulatory requirements under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the EU Battery Regulation and other sector-specific legislation. They support the development of transparent and verifiable supply chain traceability, circularity metrics and product-level sustainability information that meet the expectations of regulators, customers and market shareholders.
Additionally, the services facilitate the scalable management of sustainability and compliance data through consistent, auditable processes and expert-driven methodologies, allowing companies to operationalise DPP requirements globally.
Organisations interested in exploring DPP and advisory services should contact Intertek to schedule a readiness assessment or discuss their circular economy strategy. Learn more: https://www.intertek.com/assuris/sustainability/digital-product-passport/
