Product Passports

Competitive advantage for circular products with DCPP

Product passports make circular quality transparent: ZINQ is therefore developing Digital Circular Product Passports (DCPP) to create transparency and validated, trustworthy data as a basis for the further development of circular innovations in ZINQ coatings and in customers’ products.

The Digital Circular Product Passport (DCPP) is an important tool that provides comprehensive information on the environmental impact, material composition and recyclability of products in a standardised, digital format. It enables companies and consumers to make informed sustainable choices and supports the development of products that fully comply with the principles of the circular economy. The DCPP offers our customers a competitive advantage when developing and manufacturing the most environmentally friendly products together with ZINQ.

In collaboration with partners and suppliers, ZINQ has developed a Digital Circular Product Passport (DCPP) for a commercial vehicle chassis based on standardised environmental product declarations (EPDs in accordance with EN15804). This covers the entire process from the supply chain to the end of the life cycle (Scope 1-4). The DCPP shows significant CO₂ savings through the use of durable and recyclable products.

ZINQ is thus already implementing the European Commission’s Sustainable Product Initiative and demonstrating that it is possible to provide evidence of circular quality.
