This white paper, reviewed by several CIRPASS-2 - Digital Product Passport members, explores DPP implementation through the lens of South Korea — not just as a regional case, but as 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗗𝗣𝗣 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿:

- Global policy context and emerging DPP standards

- Industry readiness grounded in the Korean fashion sector

- Technical foundations (data, identifiers, interoperability)

- Evidence from real-world pilots and early implementations

- Practical pathways for scaling DPP beyond a single market

As the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation continues to shape expectations around product transparency, the real challenge is how to operationalise it across fragmented supply chains.
