Abstract
The transition towards sustainable and circular practices is crucial for optimizing resource use and reducing environmental impacts. Digital Product Passports (DPPs) as innovative tools play a key role in collecting and storing data throughout product lifecycles, enhancing sustainability and circularity in value chains. They improve transparency, enable data sharing among stakeholders, and encourage eco-friendly choices. Previous research has not focused on the factors impacting the implementation and adoption of DPPs. This systematic literature review of 53 articles analyzes the barriers and enablers in DPP adoption and implementation using the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework. The results show that digital technologies and legislative frameworks act as key enablers, while reluctance to share information among partners, complex data management and lack of standardization are major barriers. The paper also provides recommendations for companies and policymakers to promote the adoption of DPPs and facilitate the transition to the sustainable future.
