Digital Product Passports in Construction – Barriers and Opportunities at People, Process and Technology dimensions

Abstract: Digital Product Passports (DPP) will be inevitable as they pursue objectives aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). DPP is grounded in digital data, enabling integration and traceability throughout value chains. DPP can play a central role in accomplishing twin transition in construction. A people, process and technology dimensions study aimed to fill the knowledge gap between strategies and sector visions.
