本研究は、EUで導入が進むデジタルプロダクトパスポート（DPP）が、ITインフラ利用を通じて生じる環境影響を体系的に整理する5次元の概念モデルを提案する。DPPの利用者・発行者・サービス提供者・ホスト・機能を区分し、ICT資源使用と排出への関連付けを行い、将来の定量的評価研究の基盤を提供する。
English
This study proposes a five-dimensional conceptual model to structure the potential life-cycle environmental impacts of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) as digital services. It distinguishes DPP users, issuers, service providers, hosts, and functions, linking them to ICT-related resource use and emissions, thereby providing a foundation for future quantitative sustainability assessments.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では、EU向け輸出企業にとってDPP対応が実務課題となりつつある。本モデルは、DPP導入の環境コストを評価する視点を提供し、日本企業のサステナビリティ報告や資源循環政策の検討に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
DPPs are central to the EU's Circular Economy Action Plan and Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). This paper provides an early framework to assess the environmental footprint of the DPP infrastructure itself, relevant for global companies preparing for EU market requirements and for disclosure frameworks addressing circularity.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a structured foundation for future quantitative LCA studies of DPP digital services.
🏢実務担当者:Highlights that implementing DPPs carries its own environmental costs, informing corporate digitalization and compliance strategies.
🏛政策担当者:Offers a framework to weigh the environmental benefits of DPPs against their digital infrastructure impacts.
📄 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.
