EU ESPR Regulation 2024/1781

Digital Product Passport.
Mandatory. Verifiable. Open.

Every product entering the EU market will need a Digital Product Passport. VeriPass connects your entire supply chain — from raw materials to retail shelf — into one compliant, cryptographically verifiable passport built on open standards.

The Problem

Starting 2027, products without a Digital Product Passport will be blocked at EU borders. The data needed comes from multiple companies — and no one has a system to collect, verify, and assemble it.

This Is Not Optional

The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) requires every product sold in the EU to carry a machine-readable digital passport with verified data on origin, materials, carbon footprint, compliance, and recyclability. Products without it will be stopped at customs, rejected by importers, and banned from the market.

📦

Scattered Supply Chain Data

A single product's DPP data lives in 5–15 different companies: raw material suppliers, factories, testing labs, logistics providers. Today it's exchanged via email and spreadsheets — unverified, unstandardized, incomplete.

🔐

No Proof of Authenticity

EU regulators require verifiable data — not self-declared spreadsheets. There's no way for customs to confirm that a material composition claim is real, or that a carbon footprint number was actually measured.

🌏

EU–China System Mismatch

The EU mandates distributed, manufacturer-controlled data. China is building centralized government-operated platforms. Manufacturers exporting to both markets face two incompatible systems and double compliance costs.

How VeriPass Works

Each supply chain participant signs their portion of the product data. VeriPass aggregates it into a complete, verifiable Digital Product Passport.

01

Connect

Lightweight SDK plugs into existing ERP/MES systems. No replacement needed — reads existing data.

02

Sign

Each company digitally signs their data using W3C Verifiable Credentials. Tamper-proof, auditable.

03

Aggregate

VeriPass Registry combines all signed credentials into a complete DPP. AI checks for compliance gaps.

04

Verify

QR code on product links to the full passport. Customs, consumers, regulators — anyone can verify.

Supply Chain Coverage

Every actor in your supply chain contributes their portion of the DPP. VeriPass handles the collection, signing, and assembly.
