The EcoTrace Digital Product Passport Infrastructure
The EcoTrace platform provides a secure and scalable infrastructure for the creation, management, and verification of Digital Product Passports (DPP) for products placed on the European market.
Designed to support the implementation of the EU Ecodesign framework, the platform enables manufacturers, importers, regulators, and supply chain actors to access structured product data throughout the product lifecycle.
EcoTrace ensures that Digital Product Passport information remains transparent, traceable, and accessible for authorized stakeholders.
Core Platform Capabilities
01
Product Identity Management
This is the space to introduce the Services section. Bri
Each product registered within the EcoTrace platform receives a unique Digital Product Passport identifier linked to a QR code.
This identifier enables:
-
traceability of product batches and models
-
access to compliance and material information
-
connection between physical products and their digital records
Unique identifiers follow a structured format ensuring interoperability with regulatory systems and supply chain platforms.
efly describe the types of services offered and highlight any special benefits or features.
02
Compliance Documentation Repository
The EcoTrace platform allows manufacturers and economic operators to upload and maintain key compliance documentation related to their products.
Examples of documents stored within a Digital Product Passport include:
-
EU Declaration of Conformity
-
safety testing reports
-
certificates issued by notified bodies
-
technical documentation
-
environmental compliance records
Authorities may request access to these documents for verification during inspections or import controls.
03
Material Composition Transparency
E
coTrace enables structured documentation of product components and materials, supporting circular economy objectives.
Digital Product Passports may contain information such as:
-
textile composition
-
electronic components
-
batteries and energy storage elements
-
plastics and chemical substances
-
origin of materials
This information supports recycling, repair, and environmental monitoring initiatives.
04
Environmental and Circularity Indicators
The platform allows manufacturers to provide environmental information associated with the product lifecycle.
Examples of circularity indicators include:
-
recyclability of materials
-
repairability information
-
presence of hazardous substances
-
energy consumption data (when applicable)
These indicators support EU sustainability objectives and improve transparency for authorities and consumers.
05
Access for Authorities
EcoTrace provides dedicated interfaces allowing authorized authorities to consult Digital Product Passport records.
These interfaces are designed for:
-
customs authorities
-
market surveillance authorities
-
environmental regulators
Authorities can verify product information, review compliance documentation, and consult lifecycle data associated with the product.
Access rights may vary depending on the authority and the regulatory framework applicable to the product category.
06
System Architecture
The EcoTrace Digital Product Passport infrastructure is built on a secure cloud-based architecture hosted within the European Union.
Key technical characteristics include:
-
encrypted data storage
-
role-based access control
-
API integration with supply chain systems
-
scalable architecture supporting large product datasets
-
continuous monitoring for data integrity
The platform is designed to ensure interoperability with existing regulatory databases and emerging European digital product initiatives.
07
Interoperability
EcoTrace supports interoperability with external systems used by supply chain actors and authorities.
These include:
-
customs information systems
-
market surveillance databases
-
product compliance management tools
-
enterprise product lifecycle management platforms
This interoperability allows Digital Product Passport information to circulate efficiently across the product value chain.
08
Secure Data Integrity
EcoTrace implements multiple safeguards to ensure that Digital Product Passport data remains reliable and traceable.
These include:
• immutable activity logs
• time-stamped data updates
• role-based user access
• automated integrity monitoring
Every modification to passport data is recorded within the platform’s audit log.
