Retail’s Biggest Transparency Challenge—Solved with Digital Product Passports!

Ever wondered if that "eco-friendly" label on your favorite brand is actually legit? Today, transparency is key, and consumers demand precise product details—whether it’s verifying eco-friendly claims, ethical sourcing, or warranty information.

Infosprint Technologies introduces Digital Product Passport (DPP) solutions—a game-changing innovation that enhances retail trust, security, and compliance.

Transparency & Trust: The New Retail Imperative

These days, shoppers really want honesty from retailers because they care more about where their stuff is coming from and how it's made. They’re looking for info on product origins and whether things are sourced ethically. Retailers who are open about this can earn trust and keep customers coming back.

Consumer expectations for ethical and sustainable products

Consumers want transparency in product origins and sustainability, with many willing to pay more. However, current supply chain documentation often lacks the necessary details to meet these demands.

Regulatory compliance and reporting

Retailers face pressure to improve supply chain transparency due to stricter regulations and consumer demand for sustainability. They must adopt compliance solutions, including end-of-life management and anti-counterfeiting measures.

Combatting counterfeits

Counterfeiting, a $500 billion problem, harms brands and endangers consumers. Digital Product Passports offer a solution, enabling authentication and distinguishing genuine products.

Digital Product Passports - What, How, Why?

Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are transforming retail by providing verifiable, real-time insights into product authenticity, sourcing, and lifecycle. From luxury goods to everyday essentials, DPPs empower consumers and retailers with transparency, trust, and sustainability.

Authenticity & Trust

• Consumers can verify product origins, materials, and ethical sourcing.?
• Example: Luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Prada use blockchain-based DPPs to provide customers with product authenticity and traceability. Customers can verify the origin of their bags, shoes, and clothing through a unique digital certificate.

Regulatory Compliance

• Retailers can meet evolving sustainability and anti-counterfeiting laws.?
• Example: IKEA tracks its wood sourcing to ensure compliance with EU deforestation regulations. Through a digital passport, customers can check if their furniture is made from FSC-certified, responsibly sourced wood.

Supply Chain Visibility

• End-to-end tracking ensures ethical and transparent operations.
• Example: Zara uses RFID tags to track clothing from factories to stores. A DPP could extend this by offering consumers access to material origins, labor practices, and carbon footprint data.

Combat Counterfeiting

• Blockchain-backed DPPs prevent fraud and protect brand reputation.?
• Example: Nike introduced Cryptokicks, a blockchain system that verifies shoe authenticity. Each sneaker has a digital certificate that proves its legitimacy and prevents counterfeit sales.

Supports circular Economy

• Enables repair, resale, and recycling for a sustainable future.
• Example: Patagonia enables customers to resell and repair their old gear through a digital tracking system. A DPP could further streamline this by providing care instructions, resale eligibility, and material recyclability data.
