01 — Bremen
Why the product passport hits Bremen particularly hard.
Bremen and Bremerhaven form one of Europe’s largest import and logistics hubs – and the Digital Product Passport takes effect exactly at the interface between third countries and the EU single market:
- Imports & port economy: Anyone bringing products from third countries into the EU assumes the manufacturer’s passport obligations as the importer – from data sourcing to registration in the EU DPP registry, which launches on 19 July 2026. No registration, no market access.
- Automotive hub: Bremen is one of Germany’s major vehicle-manufacturing locations. In automotive supply chains, several acts converge at once: battery passport, steel and tyres.
- Wind energy & storage: The North-West is wind-energy country. For battery storage in hybrid parks and industrial batteries above 2 kWh, the battery passport applies from 18 Feb 2027 – the first fixed deadline.
- Consumer goods: Bremen’s consumer-goods sector is heavily shaped by food – which is exempt from the ESPR. Non-food ranges, packaging solutions and private-label hardgoods, however, very much fall within scope.

03 — FAQ
Frequently asked questions from Bremen.
Do you come to Bremen for workshops?
Yes. We are happy to run kick-offs, data audits and management workshops at your offices in Bremen or Bremerhaven; ongoing project work runs efficiently remotely – saving travel costs and coordination loops.
We import goods via Bremerhaven – what does the DPP mean for us?
As the importer you count as the responsible economic operator vis-à-vis the EU market: you must ensure a valid product passport exists, the data is correct and registration in the EU registry has taken place. In practice that means securing supplier data contractually early and making it technically retrievable.
Is food affected too?
No – food and feed are exempt from the ESPR. But watch everything around it: non-food private labels, textiles, electronics accessories or furniture in your range fall under the passport obligation depending on the act.
From when do Bremen companies have to deliver?
Batteries: fixed for 18 Feb 2027. Steel: act expected in 2026, tyres and aluminium in 2027, textiles at the end of 2026/2027 with the obligation from around 2028. Since sourcing data from overseas supply chains often takes longer than the transition period, an early start pays off.
