EUで導入されるデジタルプロダクトパスポート（DPP）は循環経済を促進するが、ITインフラによる環境影響が未評価である。本研究はDPPのライフサイクル環境影響を構造化する5次元の概念モデルを提案し、利用者、発行者、サービス提供者、ホスト、機能をICT資源利用と排出に結び付ける。将来の持続可能性評価の基盤を提供する。
English
Digital Product Passports (DPPs) in the EU aim to foster circular economy but their environmental impacts as digital services are unaddressed. This study proposes a five-dimensional conceptual model structuring DPP life-cycle impacts, linking users, issuers, providers, hosts, and functions to ICT resource use and emissions, providing a basis for future sustainability assessments.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本ではDPP導入はまだ初期段階だが、欧州の規制動向を踏まえ、日本企業の輸出対応やサプライチェーン情報開示に影響する可能性がある。本モデルはDPPの環境負荷を考慮した設計・運用の指針となり、日本の循環経済政策や情報開示実務に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, DPPs are emerging as a key instrument for circular economy under EU regulations. This model addresses the overlooked environmental costs of DPPs themselves, contributing to sustainable digitalization discourse and informing policy on digital infrastructure's ecological footprint.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a structured framework for assessing environmental impacts of digital services like DPPs, useful for future empirical studies.
🏢実務担当者:Helps companies implementing DPPs to consider their own digital infrastructure's environmental footprint in sustainability reporting.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the need to account for environmental impacts of digital solutions in circular economy policies.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Digital product passports (DPPs) are introduced into the European Union as a means to realize the circular economy. DPPs digitally capture product-related data to foster life extensions of products through, e.g., recycling, repurposing, repair, or reuse. Hence, DPPs are an interface connecting manufacturers, product service providers, product users, and public bodies. However, DPPs cause environmental impacts as a digital service through the use of IT infrastructure, which remain largely unaddressed so far. This study presents a five-dimensional conceptual model that qualitatively structures the aspects and components of these potential life-cycle environmental impacts of DPPs as digital services. The model distinguishes between DPP users, issuers, service providers, service hosts, and DPP functions, and links their activities to ICT-related resource use and emissions. The results provide a structured basis to bootstrap future environmental sustainability assessment studies. The work contributes to the literature by providing a further understanding of the ecological costs of digital services and related IT systems, thereby fostering a more sustainable implementation and management of DPPs.
