The EU Digital Product Passport — Building Verifiable Circularity Infrastructure

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is the centerpiece of the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), coming into effect by 2027.
It requires that every product entering the European market carry a machine-readable record of its lifecycle — from raw materials and manufacturing to repair, reuse, and recycling.

For manufacturers and recyclers, this is not a reporting obligation but a data-architecture challenge: systems must deliver real-time traceability, immutable auditability, and cross-border interoperability.

DeviceStamp operates as a trust layer within this framework:

  • Lifecycle events are signed and timestamped on an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain, providing independent verification.
  • IPFS + Glacier storage ensures the persistence of certificates, test reports, and repair documentation.
  • Open data schemas enable regulators, auditors, and supply-chain partners to query a shared, verifiable truth.

This category explores practical frameworks for ESPR compliance, DPP schema mapping, and blockchain-anchored lifecycle evidence that can scale from thousands to millions of devices.
The objective: make sustainability machine-verifiable and economically viable across Europe’s circular infrastructure.
