Ecosystem

Seven Actor Types.
One Data Standard.

Digital Product Passports are a multi-stakeholder infrastructure. tap2.cloud serves every actor with the right data interface — from raw supplier portals to machine-readable recycler APIs.

Producer All lifecycle stages

Manufacturers & Brand Owners

The primary obligated party under ESPR. Manufacturers create and maintain the DPP, aggregate component-level passports from their supply chain, and bear legal responsibility for accuracy.

tap2.cloud's core platform is designed around the manufacturer workflow — from ERP data ingestion to QR code issuance to compliance evidence generation.

Data request notifications

Manufacturers can request specific data updates from suppliers

Supply chain Stages 1–3

Tier-1 to Tier-N Suppliers

Suppliers contribute material declarations, substance data, and component-level DPPs to the manufacturer's passport. The intake portal requires no technical expertise — suppliers upload via web form or API.

The system handles multi-tier supplier networks, tracking data completeness at each level and flagging missing declarations before they block a product's DPP publication.

Conformity Stage 5

Notified Bodies & Testing Labs

Accredited conformity assessment bodies digitally sign and timestamp DPP records after testing. The cryptographic attestation is embedded in the passport — providing tamper-proof proof of third-party verification.

Integration with existing lab information management systems (LIMS) allows attestation without changing current workflows.

Full audit trail export

Every data event, access log, and change record

Regulatory Stage 7

Market Surveillance & Customs

National market surveillance authorities and customs administrations access DPPs via a read-only regulator dashboard. Full audit trail, no write access to production data.

Import controls use DPP presence as a pre-clearance check for goods entering the EU single market from third countries.

End user Stage 8

Consumers

Consumers access DPP data via QR code scan on their phone — no app required. The public view shows sustainability credentials, material composition, repairability score, and end-of-life guidance in their language.

Consumer-facing data is curated separately from the full technical DPP — displaying only what regulations mandate for public disclosure, never confidential supply chain data.

📱

QR scan — no app needed

Mobile-first consumer page, works in any browser

🌍

Multilingual

Auto-detects browser language; all EU languages supported

🔒

Selective data disclosure

Public view never exposes confidential supply chain data

🔧

Technical service data

Dismantling instructions, torque specs, spare part numbers

📝

Service event logging

Write repair events back to the DPP — builds live service history

Circular Stage 9

Repairers & Refurbishers

Authorised repairers access technical service data from the DPP — specifications mandated to be available to independent operators under ESPR's right-to-repair provisions.

Repair events logged back to the DPP build a live product history — increasing second-hand market confidence and supporting extended producer responsibility (EPR) reporting.

End of life Stages 10–11

Recyclers & Recovery Operators

Recyclers access the full technical DPP via the Recycler API — including hazardous substance locations, material composition by weight, and battery state-of-health data for second-life assessment.

This data directly increases material recovery yields. For battery recyclers, knowing exact cell chemistry and electrode composition before dismantling can increase lithium recovery by up to 30%.

⚗️

Material composition data

🔋

Battery state-of-health

Remaining capacity and cycle count for second-life routing
