A Digital Product Passport is a secure digital record linked to a physical product via a QR code, RFID tag, or other scannable identifier. It contains data on how a product is made, what it's made from, and how it can be reused or recycled.

The aim is to enable circular, transparent supply chains and support companies in meeting sustainability and reporting requirements. Instead of relying on spreadsheets, paper certificates, or static databases, the DPP offers a single, trusted digital identity for every product.

How TraceID fits in

TraceID gives each serialised product or batch a trace ID, shown as a QR code, and links it to one product record. Traced holds a product's certificates, manuals and batch records, plus any JSON passport you upload, versioned with a SHA-256 checksum. Every scan is logged.
