The digital passport for home appliances and EEE

Arianee provides complete DPP infrastructure to retailers, manufacturers and producer responsibility organisations to ensure ESPR 2028, WEEE and AGEC compliance, while extending appliance lifespans through full lifecycle tracking.

Home appliance digital passport — Multi-device view
Context

Home appliances at the heart of the regulatory transition

The home appliances and EEE sector faces three major regulatory obligations simultaneously. Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR) requires a Digital Product Passport for all electrical appliances by 2028. The WEEE Directive strengthens end-of-life traceability and registration with producer responsibility organisations. The AGEC Act requires display of the repairability index.

These three regulations require unified data infrastructure. Arianee enables retailers, manufacturers and producer responsibility organisations to build a digital passport that meets all these requirements, while facilitating repair and extending product lifespans.

The challenge

Traceability, compliance and durability at scale

Multi-stakeholder traceability

Every appliance must be tracked throughout its lifecycle: manufacturing, sale, after-sales service, repair, resale, and final recycling — with the participation of multiple actors.

ESPR / WEEE / AGEC compliance

A single passport must simultaneously meet all three regulatory frameworks without data fragmentation or duplication of effort.

Volume and diversity

Thousands of product references, dozens of partner manufacturers, lifecycles ranging from 5 to 15 years depending on appliance type.

5–15 year lifecycle

Maintaining a stable, accessible digital passport for over a decade, through ownership changes, servicing and repairs.

The solution

A QR-code accessible DPP, from manufacturer to recycler

Arianee designed a DPP infrastructure allowing every actor in the value chain (manufacturers, retailers, producer responsibility organisations, repairers) to contribute to the digital passport while retaining control of their data.

Phase 1

DPP creation at manufacturing

The digital passport is generated during production with baseline data: serial number, components, materials, weight, and durability information.

2
Phase 2

QR code assignment in-store

A unique QR code is generated and affixed to each appliance in-store. This code links the physical product to its digital passport and repairability index.

3
Phase 3

After-sales and repair tracking

Every maintenance, after-sales or repair intervention is recorded in the passport. The care history grows richer throughout the product lifecycle.

Phase 4

End of life and WEEE recycling

At end of life, the digital passport guides the product to the appropriate recycling stream, ensuring WEEE compliance and traceability through to the producer responsibility organisation.

The complete product history, accessible with a single scan

Complete product history — Timeline on iPhone

Every consumer can scan their appliance's QR code and access the complete product history: its manufacture, refurbishments, repairs carried out, and expected end of life. This transparent history builds brand trust and encourages sustainable choices.
