Construction DPP

The construction industry is one of the largest consumers of raw materials and a significant contributor to carbon emissions and waste.

Need for Digital Product Passports in Construction:

Construction materials like steel, concrete, and wood often have a complex environmental footprint, and managing construction waste is a major challenge. DPPs can help address these issues by improving transparency and promoting the circularity of materials.

1. Material Tracking and Recycling: DPPs can track the source and environmental impact of construction materials and provide guidance on how to recycle or repurpose materials after construction projects are completed.

2. Sustainable Building Practices: With a DPP, contractors can access data on sustainable materials, energy-efficient designs, and the environmental performance of products. This can drive greener building practices and promote the adoption of low-carbon materials.

3. End-of-Life Planning: For construction projects, DPPs can provide guidelines for dismantling and recycling materials at the end of a building's life cycle, helping to reduce demolition waste.
