Open-standard passports
Capture builds DPPs on C2PA + ERC-7053 — open, vendor-neutral standards. No lock-in to a single platform; any compliant viewer can read your passport.
Industry solution
Capture for Digital Product Passports
Comply with the EU Digital Product Passport regulation by attaching verifiable provenance, supply-chain history, and ownership transfer to every product.
The challenge
What's broken today
The EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) requires Digital Product Passports for batteries by 2027 and textiles, electronics, and construction materials shortly after. Most existing product-tracking systems are siloed databases — easy to falsify, hard to share between trade partners.
How Capture helps
Built-in for your industry
Signed lifecycle events
Manufacturing, shipping, customs, retail sale, repair, and end-of-life are each signed actions in the passport. Customs and regulators verify with a QR scan.
Decentralised, durable
Even if your ERP or supplier system goes offline, the DPP remains accessible on-chain. Critical for products with 10–30 year lifecycles like batteries and appliances.
Privacy-respecting
Sensitive supplier and pricing data can be encrypted within the passport, while public claims (carbon footprint, materials, recyclability) remain openly verifiable.
Regulatory alignment
Compliance, by design
| Regulation | What it requires | How Capture satisfies it |
|---|---|---|
| EU ESPR | Digital Product Passports for batteries, textiles, electronics, construction | C2PA + ERC-7053 satisfies all data integrity, accessibility, and persistence requirements |
| EU Battery Regulation | Battery DPP from Feb 2027 | Capture's hash-anchoring + decentralised storage meets EU integrity tests |
| GS1 Digital Link | Web-resolvable product identifiers | Capture endpoints are standard URLs, GS1-DL compatible |

Frequently asked
Digital Product Passports questions
Which industries need DPPs first?
EV batteries are the first regulated category, with mandatory DPPs from February 2027. Textiles and electronics follow shortly after, then construction materials. By 2030 the regulation is expected to cover most consumer goods sold in the EU.
How does a Capture DPP differ from a QR code linked to a product page?
A traditional QR-to-page system stores data in a database controlled by a single party — easy to silently edit or lose. A Capture DPP is a chain of signed actions anchored on the Numbers Mainnet. Every event is timestamped, every editor is identified, and the data persists even if the manufacturer disappears.
Do we need our own blockchain?
No. Capture writes to the existing Numbers Mainnet, which is permissionless and free to read. You pay only for write operations during the product's lifecycle — typically less than $0.01 per signed event.
What does the consumer actually see?
A QR code on the product opens a Capture-Eye-style page showing the full chain of custody — origin, materials, certifications, repairs, and end-of-life options. Brands can customise the visual layer; the underlying data remains verifiable.
