Digital Product Passport for Iron & steel - Content proposal and examples from early movers

An urgent business reality

For steel producers and manufacturers across Europe, the Digital Product Passport is no longer a distant regulatory concept – it is an increasingly urgent business reality.

With iron and steel identified as one of the first sectors affected under the EU's ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation), most in the industry already know the Digital Product Passport is coming.

Few know what it could actually mean for their business.

That changes on 29 April.

The EU Commission has now published the initial DPP content proposal for iron and steel, an important milestone as requirements becomes clearer. In collaboration with the EU Commission, ChainTraced conducted the first-ever readiness study on DPP specifically for the steel value chain. By gathering tangible insights directly from industry stakeholders, our qualitative study ensured the industry's reality was represented in the process.  

During our webinar, we will bring these findings directly to you, alongside inspiring implementation examples from SSAB, Cargill, Ovako, Sandvik Coromant and Seco Tools – leading companies who are already building competitive advantage through early DPP adoption.

Because as market demand for verified product and environmental data accelerates, DPP readiness is fast becoming a differentiator – not just a compliance requirement.

Is this session for you?

This webinar is for producers and manufacturers within the metallic value chain – with a primary focus on iron and steel. If you hold operational or strategic responsibility for sustainability, compliance, quality, procurement, sales, or business development, this is relevant to you. In our experience, DPP will touch all of these functions – though exactly how varies from organisation to organisation.
