Verification
Digital Product Passport (DPP) Platform
Issue the EU Digital Product Passport your buyers already require — built around CIRPASS-2 and GS1 Digital Link, not a multi-year ERP project.
The EU has a new law requiring a verified Digital Product Passport for every product sold in Europe. TRACE is being built to issue fully ESPR-compliant DPPs — generated from your existing ERP, spreadsheet or supplier data, anchored on a public verification registry, without a multi-year ERP integration project. Currently in build with pilot design partners; founding cohort shapes the schema before public launch.

Overview
What Digital Product Passport (DPP) Platform does
TRACE is being designed against the EU ESPR (Reg. 2024/1781) specification — AI-verified product credentials that international buyers and regulatory authorities will be able to accept as proof of sustainability. Every passport is designed to carry AI-verified material composition data, lifecycle carbon footprint calculations against a published lifecycle methodology, producer provenance documentation and full supply chain traceability — anchored to a public verification registry so the evidence can be independently re-verified by any auditor, retailer or regulator without depending on us.
For manufacturers and artisans, TRACE is designed to turn compliance into competitive advantage. Products carrying BangoPure DPPs are positioned to qualify for EU sustainable-sourcing programmes and ESG-aligned procurement channels. The platform is being built for fast single-product issuance, batch processing at enterprise volumes, and real-time credential sync with e-commerce platforms through the Digital Bridge — designed so a UK furniture maker, an Indian textile mill, a Brazilian leather producer or a Ghanaian artisan can all make EU compliance operationally straightforward.
For corporate buyers and procurement teams, every DPP is designed to provide one-click access to verified material data, carbon metrics and social-impact documentation — eliminating weeks of manual supplier auditing. Automated ESG compliance reports are designed to extract DPP data into board-ready formats aligned with CSRD, ISSB, GRI and CDP. Cross-continental supplier coverage is being designed in from day one — African and Asian suppliers route through an independent in-country verification network so the data buyers and regulators receive can be trusted.
The platform is being built to monitor every regulatory update — EU ESPR Delegated Acts (Reg. 2024/1781), UK PRMA 2024 — empowering framework; secondary legislation in progress, EU PPWR (Reg. (EU) 2025/40), AfCFTA standards — and automatically refresh passport schemas when requirements change. Four planned access tiers — Starter, Growth, Professional and Enterprise — with optional white-label deployment and dedicated API access on the top tier. EU data resident in the EU. UK data resident in the UK. African data stored regionally per the AU Data Policy Framework.
We know exactly what you're going through
Sound familiar?
Your biggest retail buyer just sent an email asking for a Digital Product Passport. Your team's first question was: what exactly is one?
You've read the ESPR regulation summary. Twice. You're still not clear on what you need to produce, where it gets registered, or whether your supplier in Morocco can give you the material data.
You've explored the enterprise DPP modules from the usual SaaS vendors. The implementation quotes came back significant — and so did the timeline. You have neither the budget nor the runway.
Our answer
This is why TRACE exists.
We're designing TRACE to generate fully EU and UK-compliant Digital Product Passports from your existing ERP, spreadsheet or supplier data, with automatic updates as the regulation evolves and coverage for your African and Asian suppliers. Implementation designed at a fraction of the cost of any enterprise alternative. Currently in build with pilot design partners.
Capabilities
What you get
- EU ESPR-shaped — designed to clear the regulation as it activates
- AI-verified material composition by design
- Lifecycle carbon footprint aligned with a published methodology
- Tamper-evident provenance — independently re-verifiable
- EU + UK dual-compliant — single subscription for both jurisdictions
- Independent African verification network across multiple in-country markets
How it works
From product data to a credential your auditor reads.
Step 01
Submit
Submit product data — material, supplier, lifecycle — to the passport platform.
Step 02
Verify
A standards-anchored conformance check runs against the published methodology.
Step 03
Issue
The Digital Product Passport is generated for buyers and auditors to read directly.
Step 04
Anchor
Anchored to a public verification registry — independent and free to re-verify.
Step 05
Sync
Distributed through partner integrations and the Digital Bridge to your sales channels.
Every deadline is real and dated
The regulatory clock is running
18 July 2024 — in force
EU ESPR — Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation
Applies to virtually all physical goods placed on the EU market. The framework is in force; category-specific Delegated Acts are landing progressively.
December 2024 — in force
UK Product Regulation & Metrology Act
Grants UK ministers power to mandate UK digital labelling equivalent to the EU DPP. Selling into both jurisdictions will require dual-compliant capability.
2025 — active
EU CS3D — Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence
Large EU companies must audit their entire supply chain including tier-2 and tier-3 suppliers. Verified-DPP suppliers become preferred; without them, contract risk.
February 2027
EU Battery Regulation — DPPs mandatory
Industrial, EV and LMT batteries require DPPs. Critical mineral chain-of-custody mandatory from 2030. Supply chain decisions are being made now — not in 2027.
2026–2027
Textiles & Electronics DPPs
Textile DPP delegated acts under consultation. Fibre composition, country of manufacture, recycled content, care instructions — all must be machine-readable and registry-registered.
2028–2030
Construction, Chemicals, Agriculture & remaining categories
Steel, cement, aluminium, insulation, windows, tyres, paints, detergents, lubricants. Every product category on the regulatory conveyor belt through 2030.
Who it's for
If you sell products in Europe or the UK, this is for you.
EU manufacturer
Your customers — including the big retailers — are already asking for DPP documentation. You need it fast and it needs to be correct. TRACE is designed to generate it from your existing SAP, Oracle or spreadsheet data, without a multi-month ERP project. Textiles, electronics, batteries, furniture, construction.
UK manufacturer exporting to EU
You must comply with both EU DPP rules for Europe and UK Product Regulation & Metrology Act requirements for the UK. TRACE is being designed as dual-compliant EU + UK DPPs in one subscription — any sector with EU + UK sales.
Global brand with non-EU suppliers
Under ESPR the brand owner carries the DPP obligation — even if you didn't manufacture the product. TRACE is designed to verify your African and Asian suppliers' data and assemble a defensible passport submission, with greenwashing risk minimised by schema. Profile: Primark, Nestlé, IKEA-type supply chain.
Retailer or marketplace
Designed so retailers and marketplaces can see the compliance status of every product in their supply chain before it reaches the shelf — one dashboard, every supplier, every category, no surprises at audit. Profile: ASOS, Carrefour, Next, John Lewis.
EV + battery manufacturer
Battery DPPs are mandatory under EU Reg. 2023/1542 from February 2027. TRACE is shaped to carry critical-mineral chain-of-custody for lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese from source to cell. Supply-chain decisions are being made now — not in 2027.
African exporter
Your EU buyers are starting to demand DPP documentation. Without it, you lose the contract. TRACE is being designed for multilingual delivery (English, French, Swahili, Portuguese, Arabic) and routed through the in-country verification network for African textiles, minerals, agri-food and electronics.

Regulation
Regulation-shaped from day one
Schema aligned to the EU ESPR (Reg. 2024/1781) Delegated Acts working drafts and the UK PRMA 2024 — empowering framework; secondary legislation in progress. Designed to extend to the EU Battery Regulation (Reg. 2023/1542), EUDR for relevant categories, the EU PPWR (Reg. (EU) 2025/40) for recycled-content evidence and the Data Act (Reg. 2023/2854) for B2B passport-data exchange. GDPR personal-data minimised by design; EU/UK data residency designed in.
Get started
Founding cohort being seated — partners shape the DPP schema before public launch
Founding DPP design partners get design-partner terms and direct schema input before ESPR Delegated Acts harden. The cohort is finite — schema seats close once the founding round is filled.
