Why Compliance Alone Is Not Enough
The European Unionβs mandate for Digital Product Passports (DPP) by 2027 is forcing brands to rethink product lifecycle management. While these passports are essential for compliance, they should not be seen as a regulatory burdenβbut as an opportunity to innovate, engage, and drive new revenue streams.
At Keyban, we believe that Tokenized Product Passports (TPP) are the next evolution of DPPs. Instead of just meeting regulations, they empower brands to create verifiable product histories, enhance consumer trust, and unlock new business models.
π What is a Tokenized Product Passport (TPP)?
A TPP is a blockchain-powered digital twin of a product. Unlike standard DPPs, which primarily store compliance data, a TPP:
β Ensures product authenticity and prevents fraud
β Boosts resale value by tracking verified ownership & history
β Enables AI-driven engagement for brands & marketplaces
β Supports privacy-first retargeting for marketing
β Encourages circular economy & sustainability incentives
π¨ With upcoming EU regulations, brands must act fastβbut the smartest ones are already leveraging TPPs to turn compliance into a competitive edge.
