What is the Digital Product Passport (DPP)?

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a groundbreaking initiative by the European Union (EU) designed to enhance transparency, sustainability, and circularity within the single market. By providing detailed digital information about a product's characteristics, compliance, composition, and lifecycle, the DPP enables consumers and stakeholders to make informed decisions, fostering a more resource-efficient economy.

Our Services

At ComplyMarket, we specialize in developing comprehensive Digital Product Passport solutions tailored to your business needs. We offer two distinct approaches to help you comply with EU regulations and enhance your product transparency:

1. GS1 Digital Link Standard

GS1 is a globally recognized organization that develops and maintains standards for barcodes and identification keys. The GS1 Digital Link extends traditional barcodes to connect physical products with digital information through Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs).

  • GTIN to URI Transformation: Convert Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) into URIs, linking products to their digital profiles.
  • Seamless Integration: Utilize existing barcode scanners and systems, ensuring a smooth transition without significant infrastructure changes.
  • Access to DPP Data: Enable instant retrieval of Digital Product Passport information by scanning the enhanced barcodes.

2. Blockchain-Based Solution with Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)

We also offer a patented blockchain-based solution using Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials to provide enhanced security and authenticity.

Key Features:

  • Unique DID Resolvers: Generate unique DID resolvers stored on QR codes, ensuring secure product identification.
  • Backup URL Integration: Include primary and backup URLs within the DID document to guarantee continuous access to product information.
  • Immutable Data Storage: Store DID documents on decentralized platforms like IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) and publish hashes on blockchain networks like Ethereum or Polygon, ensuring data integrity and immutability.
  • Digital Signature Verification: Use cryptographic signatures verified against public keys from trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs) to prevent counterfeiting.
  • Role-Based Access Control: Manage user access levels using digital wallets and verified credentials compliant with the European Digital Identity (eID) framework.
  • Machine-Readable Data: Provide product data in standardized formats for seamless integration and automation across various platforms.

Comparing the Solutions: GS1 vs. Blockchain-Based DIDs

At ComplyMarket, we understand that each business has unique needs. Below, we present an unbiased comparison of both solutions to help you decide which approach best suits your requirements.

GS1 Digital Link Standard

Pros:

  • Global Recognition: GS1 standards are widely accepted and used globally across various industries.
  • Ease of Implementation: Leverages existing barcode infrastructure, reducing the need for significant changes.
  • Interoperability: Compatible with most scanning devices and retail systems.
  • Cost-Effective: Minimal additional costs if you already use GS1 barcodes.

Cons:

  • Centralization: Relies on centralized systems, which may be less resilient to certain disruptions.
  • Limited Security Features: While secure, it may not offer the same level of tamper-proof authenticity as blockchain solutions.
  • Dependency on GS1 Membership: Requires adherence to GS1 standards and possible membership fees.

Blockchain-Based Solution with DIDs

Pros:

  • Enhanced Security: Blockchain technology ensures data immutability and tamper-proof records.
  • Decentralization: Eliminates single points of failure, enhancing system robustness.
  • Flexibility: Customizable to specific business needs, supporting various blockchain platforms like Ethereum or Polygon.
  • Advanced Features: Supports role-based access control and verifiable credentials for different stakeholders.

Cons:

  • Implementation Complexity: May require more technical expertise to implement and manage.
  • Infrastructure Costs: Potentially higher initial costs due to blockchain integration and smart contract deployment.
  • Adoption Curve: Stakeholders may need training to understand and utilize the new system effectively.
