01 — Frankfurt
Why the product passport hits Frankfurt especially hard.
Rhine-Main is a hub for goods, data and capital – three levels on which the Digital Product Passport raises the bar:
- Logistics & imports: Anyone bringing goods from third countries into the EU via Frankfurt Airport or the Rhine-Main logistics centres carries importer obligations: affected products will have to carry a registered passport before being placed on the market – the EU registry launches on 19 July 2026.
- Chemicals & pharma – a differentiated view: Pharmaceuticals are exempt from the ESPR. Rhine-Main’s chemicals sector is nevertheless affected – as a supplier of plastics, additives and precursors whose customers need material data and substances-of-concern declarations for their passports.
- Consumer goods & brands: The region’s brand manufacturers are hit by the expected delegated acts for textiles (late 2026/2027) and furniture (2028) – with a data lead time that has to start well before the obligation.
- Financial centre & ESG: Banks and investors increasingly ask for robust product and circularity data. The DPP delivers exactly the structured data foundation that makes ESG reporting and financing conversations more solid – a side effect that pays off twice.

03 — FAQ
Frequently asked questions from Frankfurt.
Do you do on-site appointments in Frankfurt and Rhine-Main?
Yes. We are happy to hold kick-offs, data audits and management workshops at your premises – in Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Wiesbaden or Mainz. Ongoing project work we handle remote, which keeps the effort lean.
We are a pharma-adjacent chemicals company – are we not exempt?
Medicinal products themselves are exempt from the ESPR. But as soon as you supply plastics, chemicals or precursors to manufacturers of DPP-obligated products, your customers need material data and substances-of-concern declarations from you. The exemption protects the end product medicine – not the supply business.
We import consumer goods via the airport – what changes for us?
As an importer you count as the responsible economic operator: you must ensure that affected products have a valid, registered passport before they are placed on the EU market. A missing passport is a market-access issue – not just a fine risk.
From when do the obligations apply in concrete terms?
So far, only the battery passport on 18 Feb 2027 and the set-up of the EU registry on 19 July 2026 are fixed. Iron & steel is expected in 2026, textiles, tyres and aluminium late 2026/2027, furniture 2028, electronics 2028–2029. Between delegated act and obligation there are typically 18 months – and data sourcing often takes longer.
