A Market Pack is a regional profile that configures how a Digital Product Passport is localised for a specific market. Each pack defines the language, date and number formatting, measurement conventions, and supplementary content — such as recycling guidance and disclaimers — that should accompany the passport when it is served to consumers in that market.

What a Market Pack Contains

Every Market Pack provides a complete localisation profile for a single market:

ComponentPurpose
Market identityCountry name, ISO market code, and default language
Locale rulesDate format, number format, measurement system, and temperature units
Enabled languagesLanguages available for content translation within this market
Recycling guidanceMarket-specific recycling instructions covering the product and 14 material categories
DisclaimersRegion-specific legal and compliance notices attached from the brand’s disclaimer library
Supplementary contentAdditional market-relevant information such as regulatory summaries and locator links

Locale Rules

Each Market Pack defines formatting conventions that control how dates, numbers, and measurements appear in the localised passport:

Date Format

Dates are rendered according to the market’s conventional format. For example:

MarketFormatExample
United KingdomDD/MM/YYYY14/04/2026
United StatesMM/DD/YYYY04/14/2026
GermanyDD.MM.YYYY14.04.2026
JapanYYYY/MM/DD2026/04/14

Number Format

Decimal separators and digit grouping follow local conventions:

Comma/period1.234,56PeriodDE, FR, ES, IT, PT, NL, AT, BE, GR, and others

Measurement System

Recycling Guidance

Market Packs include structured recycling guidance tailored to each market’s waste management infrastructure and regulations. Guidance covers:

  1. Product recycling guidance — overarching instructions for the product as a whole
  2. 14 material categories — specific guidance for Glass, Paper & Cardboard, Metals (Ferrous), Metals (Non-Ferrous), Plastics (Rigid), Plastics (Flexible), Textiles & Fabrics, Leather, Wood, Ceramics, Rubber, Composites, Electronics, and Batteries

Each material entry includes:

  • a clear, consumer-friendly title
  • actionable guidance written in an approachable, encouraging tone
  • an optional external link to the relevant local authority, collection scheme, or regulatory body

Recycling guidance is designed to be immediately useful to consumers — helping them understand how to responsibly handle, recycle, or dispose of the product in their specific market.

Market Pack Types

TypeDescription
PredefinedSystem-provided packs for the 31 supported markets. Pre-configured with locale rules and, where available, recycling guidance.
Brand CustomisedA predefined pack that has been modified by the brand — for example, adding custom disclaimers or adjusting recycling guidance.
Brand CreatedA custom pack created by the brand for a market not covered by the predefined set.

Managing Market Packs

Market Packs are managed from the Localisations section of the tieback dashboard:

  • Browse all packs in a searchable, filterable grid — with country flags, market codes, enabled languages, and status indicators at a glance.
  • Open a pack to view and configure its locale rules, recycling guidance, disclaimers, and language settings.
  • Preview how the localised passport will render for each market and language combination.

Predefined Market Packs provide a strong starting point. Brands are encouraged to review and customise the recycling guidance and disclaimers for their specific product categories and regulatory obligations.
