Open compliance infrastructure for the circular economy.
OpenDPP is an open-standards readiness platform that helps organisations work toward the EU's Digital Product Passport legislation. We build sovereign passport tooling so that the data underpinning a circular economy is never locked behind a single proprietary vendor.
Sovereignty & interoperability, by design
As the circular economy scales, Digital Product Passports must not be locked behind private, centralised databases or monopolistic cloud providers. OpenDPP is built on two principles: open interoperability and economic-operator sovereignty.
The platform speaks standard W3C JSON-LD semantics, serialises identifiers through GS1 Digital Link, and aligns with Asset Administration Shell (AAS v3.0/3.1) submodels. That keeps your sustainability data, chemical inventories, and lifecycle declarations readable by any standards-based verification tool or circular-supply-chain recycling hub — today and a decade from now.
The passport is not a one-time filing. It is a living record that must stay accurate, signed, and reachable long after a product has left your warehouse — without surrendering it to a single vendor.
— The OpenDPP missionNo proprietary lock-in
We align with the open specifications the EU's federated DPP ecosystem is converging on, so your data stays portable and your compliance survives any single supplier.
-
Aligned with the decentralised modelData sits in your databases. Registry-ready for the future EU index (ESPR Art.13) — designed so only unique ID pointers would reach it, and the Art.13 pointer projection is already validated against the CIRPASS-2 reference registry (non-normative); live Commission API integration is pending.
-
W3C DIDs & conformant UNTP credentialsResolvable did:web issuer keys, W3C Bitstring Status List revocation, and conformant UNTP DigitalProductPassport credentials (vc+jwt + ecdsa-jcs-2019).
-
Asset Administration Shell (AAS v3.0/3.1)Submodel and eCl@ss registry alignment for machine-readable interoperability.
-
Built to the EN standards familyDesigned to align with the draft CEN/CENELEC JTC 24 standards (EN 18219 / 18220 / 18221 / FprEN 18246 — final drafts, not yet OJEU-cited) and EN unique-ID formats.
The values built into every passport
Four commitments shape how OpenDPP handles your data, your keys, and your access.
Data ownership
Your sustainability data stays in your databases under your operational control — no third-party escrow, no hidden competitor leaks.
Open-standards alignment
Built to align with EN unique-ID formats, AAS shell schemas, and UNTP / EPCIS 2.0 — ahead of OJEU citation of the EN 182xx series (no presumption of conformity exists yet).
Cryptographic verification
Elliptic-curve electronic seals under active B2B key custody, supporting x5c certificate chains to prove origin and provenance.
Multi-layered access & SSO
Dual-JWT authentication (local sessions and OIDC SSO) with wildcard permission scopes and supplier-boundary constraints against industrial espionage.
Decentralised, cryptographic, future-proof
- Aligned with the decentralised model. Data sits exactly where it belongs — raw operational data stays under your secure server control. Registry-ready for the future EU index (ESPR Art.13): designed so only unique ID pointers would reach it, and the Art.13 pointer projection is already validated against the CIRPASS-2 reference registry (non-normative); live Commission API integration is still pending.
- Cryptographic trust. Every passport is signed using the brand's own per-tenant keys (encrypted vault custody, AES-256-GCM in Postgres), producing an eIDAS advanced electronic seal — JSON-LD product data with an offline-verifiable ECDSA Merkle-root signature for integrity and non-repudiation.
- Future-proof lifecycle. Designed to align with EN 18221 data-persistence requirements — passports are stored in a durable, portable format so circularity data stays resolvable across a product's expected service life.
