abstract = {This research investigates the integration of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) into the Circular Economy (CE) paradigm. DPPs are digital papers that accompany products and contain detailed lifecycle data on materials, manufacturing processes, distribution networks, environmental effects, and end-of-life treatment. They improve industry openness, traceability, and sustainability by closing information gaps and encouraging sustainable product management. Despite the growing interest in DPPs, there is a significant gap in understanding the practical challenges and scalability of DPP adoption across the industry. This paper digs into technology developments and their adoptions for efficient DPP implementation within the CE framework through a systematic literature review (SLR). It investigates how DPPs promote resource efficiency, improve lifecycle assessments, and strengthen end-of-life management techniques. It also looks at the economic and legal consequences of integrating DPP into existing supply chains, stressing potential cost issues and the need for regulatory frameworks. The findings highlight DPPs’ significance in facilitating long-term product management decisions by providing openness and accountability across the product lifecycle. This paper also underlines the importance of stakeholder collaboration in realizing DPPs’ revolutionary potential for advancing the CE agenda. It proposes a conceptual model illustrating the technical architecture of DPPs, adoption framework, and DPP adoption ecosystem. Finally, this paper discusses the future research directions around DPPs based on the research gap identified through the SLR.
