Abstract - The purpose of the Digital Product Passport (DPP) is to offer standardised "track and trace" data on a product's origin, composition, possibilities for repair and disassembly, and management at the end of its useful life. In addition to supporting a low-carbon transition by advancing a circular economy, the DPP seeks to remove current barriers including communication gaps. The DPP has the ability to push decisions towards sustainable development by giving relevant information about a product to various actors, including waste management firms and consumers. This information can be given to consumers during the procurement and utilisation phase of the product, and to waste management units during the disassembly and recycle or reuse phase. In this paper we discuss an IOT based system in context of India since EU nations are pursuing DPP with great concern. Possible challenges and expert reviews have also been discussed.
