Industry solution
Digital Product Passport for paints & varnishes
VOC data, eco-labels, project tenders: Passenta structures the product and evidence data of your paints and varnishes — for customers today, for the passport tomorrow.
Where your industry stands
In the ESPR preparatory studiesPaints and varnishes are being examined in the EU preparatory studies for ESPR; a passport duty is not yet scheduled. What counts today are VOC limits, hazard labelling and eco-labels — and in project business, EPDs and sustainability data decide tenders.
As of July 2026. Regulatory information summarised to the best of our knowledge — not legal advice; the EU legal texts prevail.
What the industry is dealing with
Labelling puzzle
CLP, VOC data, eco-labels: many parallel proofs per product and container, each with its own lifetime.
Raw materials with history
Binders, pigments, additives: customers increasingly ask about origin and recycled content — data that sits with upstream suppliers.
What Passenta takes over
Evidence per product
EPDs, test certificates and labels attach with validity to the product; the gap report shows where tender documents are incomplete.
Targeted views
Planners and certifiers see the relevant data via link or disclosure package — recipe details stay protected.
Upstream collaboration
Raw material suppliers answer via link in their language — without an account, with reminders, traceably documented.
Industry profile available in Passenta — field catalogue included.
- Signed, immutable passport versions
- Supplier collaboration in all 24 official EU languages
- Transparent pricing — no sales call required
Frequently asked questions
Is a mandatory passport coming for paints and varnishes?
The industry is in the ESPR preparatory studies; no date exists. The practical benefit today lies in disclosure-readiness for project business, retail and eco-labels.
Can we store EPD data?
Yes — EPDs and test certificates attach as evidence with validity dates to the product and flow into disclosure packages and tender responses.
How do we handle recipe confidentiality?
Visibilities are controlled per field and document: share mandatory and customer data deliberately, keep core recipes internal — accesses to shared links are logged.
