I write about consumer audio, computer gear, Apple Macs, macOS and digital photography. I'm all about tech that amps up the fun, creativity and productivity in life. My job is to scout out and give you the lowdown on the coolest products with cutting-edge tech so you're in the know about what's worth buying.
Few people outside the electronics industry will be aware of the EU’s forthcoming Digital Product Passport regulations. Coming into force in 2026, the DPPs are designed to prioritize a product’s traceability and accountability, encouraging a movement towards a ‘circular economy’ where products are not simply discarded but properly recycled, reused or repurposed.
The DPP for your TV or hi-fi will have data recorded against that can be accessed by scanning an NFC chip, QR code or RFID tag, depending on the platform the manufacturer has implemented. Soon there will be a record of all the items that you buy and own. While some people may think that sounds a little dystopian, others say it makes sense like microchipping your cat.
TAZAAR’s implementation of provenance and heritage-tracing technologies is a direct response to the EU’s Digital Product Passport, with controls to protect confidentiality. These new regulations will roll out one sector at a time, with batteries and textiles already providing test cases.
Lisa Stafford is CEO of TAZAAR, she said: “Our digital logbook technology enhances ownership and reflects our commitment to sustainability, ensuring well-crafted products have longer, more valuable lives. The HIGH END show in Munich is the ideal showcase for our innovation and a great opportunity to connect with industry leaders who would like to learn more about our solution and explore future strategic partnership opportunities.
