Digital Product Passport for Chemicals & Pharma
How chemical and pharmaceutical companies implement DPP requirements for complex products
Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry and the Digital Product Passport
The chemical and pharmaceutical industry manages products with highly regulated compositions, complex safety data, and strict traceability requirements. From REACH registrations to safety data sheets to batch documentation – data management has always been a core competency. The Digital Product Passport builds on this and expands the focus to include sustainability and circular economy.
Specific Challenges in Chemicals & Pharma
Substance Complexity
Chemical products consist of complex formulations. The DPP requires transparent disclosure of ingredients while respecting trade secrets.
REACH and Safety Data
Existing REACH registrations and safety data sheets must be integrated into the DPP. Duplicate data maintenance is inefficient.
Batch Traceability
In pharma and specialty chemicals, every batch must be traceable. The DPP must capture this level of detail.
International Regulations
Beyond EU requirements, international regulations (FDA, EPA, etc.) add complexity to data management.
Why the DPP Is Relevant for Chemicals & Pharma
Chemical products are defined as focus products under ESPR. The DPP will require transparent documentation of material compositions, recyclability, and environmental impact. For the pharma industry, additional requirements for sustainability and product lifecycle come on top. The industry's experience with compliance-intensive data management provides a good starting position – if existing systems can be effectively connected.
The Problem: Complex Data, Multiple Systems
Chemical and pharmaceutical companies already manage a wealth of product data – EHS databases, REACH registrations, lab systems, ERP, and quality management. For the DPP, this data must be brought together in a new format. The challenge is not just technical connection but also semantic mapping: How does REACH data become DPP data?
