IOXIO and 1001 Lakes launch DPP Foundry
DPP Foundry helps companies prepare for EU Digital Product Passport requirements and build solutions that are both compliant and commercially valuable across product value chains.
The EU Digital Product Passport for batteries becomes mandatory in February 2027, followed by product groups such as textiles, furniture, steel, and aluminium. Many companies have already begun preparing, yet regulations continue to evolve and be refined. Product data is scattered across multiple systems and value chain partners, while customer expectations for transparency are growing.
To address these challenges, IOXIO and 1001 Lakes have launched DPP Foundry, a joint service offering that provides companies with a clear and practical path to compliant implementation while securing business opportunities in an evolving regulatory and market environment.
A Digital Product Passport requires more than a technical solution
For many companies, the Digital Product Passport appears primarily as a new regulatory requirement. In practice, however, a successful implementation requires aligning business, data, technology, contracts, and standards.
Incorrect assumptions or narrowly scoped solutions can lead to significant additional costs, rework, delayed go-live, or in the worst case, non-compliance.
DPP Foundry aims to help companies avoid these risks and build solutions that also support future needs.
One partner for the entire DPP journey
DPP Foundry provides clients with an end-to-end service from initial readiness assessment through to production and tailored to each company’s situation and ambitions.
Engagements typically begin with the Get Started package, which gives companies a clear picture of the requirements related to Digital Product Passports, their current state, and the next steps needed. Business benefits are identified, readiness is assessed, and a practical roadmap is created.
DPP Foundry then supports the client throughout the entire implementation journey, from design through to production and ongoing maintenance. The service covers solution design, requirements refinement, data modelling, architecture, integrations, identifiers, data carriers, user interfaces, cybersecurity, as well as implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.
The goal is to give clients a clear understanding of requirements, a scalable product data foundation, and a Digital Product Passport solution that works in practice.
Combined expertise from two specialist companies
DPP Foundry brings together 1001 Lakes’ expertise in business, ecosystems, regulation, and standardisation with IOXIO’s strengths in data, integration, and software solutions.
Together, the two companies offer clients a single partner for the entire Digital Product Passport journey. The team’s expertise covers:
- DPP regulation and compliance requirements
- data modelling and semantics
- data architecture and integrations
- legal and contractual aspects
- technical implementation and deployment
- business development and ecosystem collaboration
Shaping the standards of tomorrow
DPP Foundry’s experts actively participate in Digital Product Passport standardisation work and have been involved in several pioneering projects in the field. The companies’ experience includes:
- participation in EU DPP lighthouse pilots
- participation in and contribution to ongoing international Digital Product Passport standardisation
- implementing the first Battery Regulation-compliant Mobile Work Machine Battery Passport solution
- identifying business benefits of Digital Product Passports in the textile industry
Thanks to this hands-on experience, clients gain access to solutions grounded in both today’s requirements and the direction of future development.
The Digital Product Passport is an opportunity to build competitive advantage
While the Battery Passport is the first significant Digital Product Passport requirement for many companies, this is not purely a compliance exercise.
When implemented correctly, a Digital Product Passport can improve product data quality, increase value chain transparency, enable more efficient ecosystem collaboration, and lay the groundwork for new services and business models.
DPP Foundry’s mission is to help companies turn regulatory obligations into tangible business value.
