The European Union is gradually introducing new regulations under the European Green Deal, with the Digital Product Passport (DPP) emerging as one of the most critical topics in the coming years.
For many manufacturing enterprises, this sounds like just another bureaucratic burden. At MeMOM, however, we believe that properly managed data isn't a weight—it's a powerful competitive advantage.
Discover how our software helps gather, analyze, and report production data, making the implementation of the Digital Product Passport simple and automated.
A Digital Product Passport is a digital record of a specific item's data—ranging from its raw material composition and carbon footprint generated during production to repair and recycling instructions.
However, the biggest challenge for manufacturing plants isn't creating the passport itself, but obtaining reliable data directly from the shop floor.
Important: Averaged figures from an electricity bill or estimated material usage in an Excel spreadsheet won't cut it. DPP compliance requires precise information tied to a specific unit, series, or production batch.
EU regulations (under the ESPR – Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation) won't cover the entire economy overnight. Implementation is scheduled in phases, meaning selected industries must be ready much sooner.
First in line for mandatory Digital Product Passports is the textile industry (apparel, footwear, home and technical textiles), alongside the battery and electronics sectors.
In subsequent rollout waves, manufacturers of furniture, plastics, chemicals, and building materials will join the system. If your company operates in the textile industry, the time to implement the right software tools is right now. If you are in another sector, getting ahead will give you a massive competitive edge.
Regardless of your industry, our software is designed to directly connect the worlds of manufacturing machinery (IoT/PLC) and process management systems. This allows us to collect data in real time right at the source.
Here is what MeMOM delivers for the Digital Product Passport:
Precise energy consumption measurement per product:
We don't just measure energy for the entire facility—we track exactly how many kilowatt-hours (kWh) machines consumed while processing that specific item or batch (e.g., during weaving, dyeing, or assembly). This is essential for calculating an item's true carbon footprint.
Material and raw resource tracking:
The software accurately monitors the weight and quantity of used raw materials (including recycled content / PCR) and the level of production scrap generated in a given cycle.
Product Genealogy (Full Traceability):
We automatically record batch numbers of delivered raw materials, process parameters, and data on the machinery involved.
Integration and data export readiness:
Collected data is organized and ready to be transmitted via API to external DPP-generating platforms, ERP systems, or ESG reporting tools.
The greatest benefit of implementing MeMOM is that the gathered data serves more than just compliance purposes. Real-time monitoring instantly uncovers process anomalies:
Preparing for the Digital Product Passport—especially in front-line industries like textiles—is a process that needs to start today. Instead of scrambling to implement complex systems at the last minute under the threat of penalties, choose a flexible solution that delivers immediate cost savings while seamlessly gathering the required data.
