Digital Product Passports,
implemented.
OVERWRLD connects your product data, suppliers and physical products into DPP-ready infrastructure — then puts a resolvable identity on the unit that leaves the line.
- Product identity
- Materials
- Supplier origin
- Repair information

OVERWRLD connects it.
How OVERWRLD works.
Connect
Bring in existing product information.
Map
Translate company-specific data into a standardized product structure.
Validate
Identify missing, incomplete or conflicting information.
Identify
Connect products to persistent standards-based identities.
Deploy
Associate those identities with QR/NFC and publish the passport.
Know where you stand before you implement.
The DPP Readiness Assessment scores your catalogue against the requirements that apply to it, then tells you exactly what implementation will require.
- Product-data assessment
- Systems inventory
- Identifier assessment
- Missing-data analysis
- Supplier dependencies
- Carrier strategy
- Implementation roadmap
From your systems to the factory floor.
Woven, printed or etched into the existing label.
Serialized packaging produced with the order.
Encoded inline at the factory, tested on line.
Identity-to-unit list issued per PO.
Scan-back confirmation before shipment.
Built around the standards you already use.
Your products. Your identifiers. Your domain.
OVERWRLD works with your infrastructure instead of replacing it.

2027 sounds far. The work isn't.
The technology is the short part. Data, owners and suppliers set your real timeline.
Scope and structure
Map where your product data lives, close the gaps and agree on a canonical product structure. This is the part that takes months, not the technology.
Pilot and identify
Prove the architecture on representative products, assign persistent identifiers and test QR/NFC carriers through a real production run.
Deploy and maintain
Roll out across the catalogue and keep passports versioned and current as delegated acts and product data change.
DPP is not one team's project.
Requirements land across six teams at once. Each one gets a defined role.
IT & data
Where product data lives today, and what has to move.
Compliance & legal
Which obligations apply, and what evidence has to exist.
Sustainability
Materials, durability and end-of-life information at product level.
Product & operations
Getting identities onto physical units at manufacturing scale.
Marketing & brand
What the customer sees when they scan, and who controls it.
Supply chain
Which suppliers hold the data you don't have yet.
Digital Product Passport regulations, sector by sector.
Introduced through the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), applied product group by product group.
Textiles
ESPR textiles delegated act — expected 2027
Textiles and related products sold into the EU. Passport data on materials, composition, durability, repair, recycled content and supply-chain actors.
ESPR
In force — delegated acts rolling out
The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation is the umbrella framework that introduces the Digital Product Passport across product groups.
Multi-component products
Covered under relevant product groups
Complex assemblies need component-level material data, supplier records and factory traceability — the hardest data model in any group.
Packaging (PPWR)
Phased obligations from 2026 onward
Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation brings labelling, recyclability and material disclosure that sits next to your product passport.
Batteries
Battery passport from February 2027
EU 2023/1542 is the first passport already law — the reference implementation for how DPP obligations are enforced in practice.
Electronics & other groups
Delegated acts expected 2027+
Consumer electronics, furniture, tyres and more follow the same pattern: identifiers, structured product data and a public passport.
Who OVERWRLD is for.
Why OVERWRLD.
Implementation-first
We don't hand you software and leave you to figure it out.
Vendor-neutral
QR, NFC, GS1, existing labels and existing systems.
Physical + digital
We understand getting identities onto actual products at manufacturing scale.
North America → Europe
Built around the implementation needs of North American brands preparing for European DPP requirements.
Physical products, connected.
Consumer goods
Serialized units connected to digital identities through production.
Electronics
Identity and traceability built into devices and packaging.
Collectibles
Unit-level authentication on limited, numbered products.
Licensed products
Identity and verification across licensed manufacturing partners.
How you engage.

Answers, before you have to ask.
What is a Digital Product Passport?
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured digital identity for a physical product, accessible from the product itself via QR code or NFC. It carries identity, composition, manufacturing, compliance and end-of-life information for the people and systems that need it. It is not a label and not a marketing landing page — it is data with a persistent identifier behind it.
What do the EU DPP requirements actually ask for?
Under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), each product group gets its own delegated act defining the data set: identifiers, materials and substances of concern, durability and repair information, compliance documentation and end-of-life guidance. The data has to be accurate at product or batch level, machine-readable, and reachable from the product for its whole service life.
When do DPP requirements apply to my products?
The first product-specific delegated acts land from 2027, with textiles, batteries and further product groups rolling out in waves. Most companies start the operational work in 2026 because data collection, supplier outreach and system integration take far longer than standing up the passport itself.
Do our data need to be ready before we start?
No. Almost every company starts from a fragmented picture spread across ERP, PLM, spreadsheets and supplier emails. That is exactly the starting point: the Readiness Assessment establishes what you have, what is missing, and who has to supply the rest.
Do we have to replace our ERP, PIM or PLM?
No. OVERWRLD connects to the systems you already run, maps your existing fields to a canonical product structure, and leaves your systems of record untouched.
How long does implementation take?
The Readiness Assessment is fixed scope and delivers in weeks. A pilot proves the architecture on representative products before catalogue-wide rollout.
Can we use our own domain and identifiers?
Yes. Your GTINs, your GS1 Digital Link prefix, your domain. Passports resolve under your brand, not ours.
