Lifecycle Coverage
One Passport.
11 Lifecycle Stages.
A Digital Product Passport is only valuable if it follows the product from first material to last recovery step. tap2.cloud connects every actor across the full value chain with a persistent, auditable data thread.
The 11 stages where DPP data is created, enriched, or consumed
Raw Material Extraction
Origin declaration
Mine operators, smelters, and primary processors declare material origin, extraction method, and substance composition. Critical minerals (lithium, cobalt, nickel) require due diligence documentation under ESPR and Battery Regulation.
Material Processing
Substance tracking
Chemical processing, alloying, and material preparation steps introduce or transform regulated substances. REACH SVHC declarations, RoHS compliance, and processing additive disclosures are captured at this stage.
Component Manufacturing
Component-level DPPs
Tier-2 and Tier-3 suppliers create component-level passports that will later be linked into parent product DPPs. Bill of materials structure, mass data, and technical specifications are locked at this stage.
Product Assembly
Passport aggregation
The manufacturer assembles component DPPs into the finished product passport. Repairability scores, assembly-level certifications (CE, type approval), and energy performance data are added. The DPP becomes the single authoritative record.
Quality & Conformity
Third-party attestation
Notified bodies and accredited testing labs digitally sign the DPP after conformity assessment. The signed attestation is anchored to the passport with a cryptographic timestamp — providing proof that cannot be retroactively altered.
Logistics & Distribution
QR code issuance
QR codes and NFC tag payloads are generated and physically applied to the product or packaging. The DPP is published to the registry. From this point, anyone with a scanner can verify the passport in real time.
Retail & Market Surveillance
Regulatory access point
Retailers verify DPP presence before placing products on EU shelves. Market surveillance authorities query the regulator dashboard to spot compliance gaps. Customs uses DPP data to verify third-country imports.
Consumer Use
Public DPP access
Consumers scan the QR code to view sustainability data, materials, care instructions, and repairability information in their language. The public view shows only the information mandated for consumer access — not confidential supply chain data.
Repair & Refurbishment
Service data access
Authorised repairers access technical specifications, spare parts lists, and dismantling instructions from the DPP. Repair events are logged back to the passport, building a live service history.
Collection & Sorting
Waste stream identification
Collection operators scan products to identify material composition before sorting. The DPP guides correct waste stream assignment and flags hazardous substance locations for safe handling.
Recycling & Recovery
Circular economy close
Recyclers access the full technical DPP via the Recycler API to optimise material recovery. Battery recyclers get cell chemistry, capacity, and state-of-health data to maximise lithium, cobalt, and nickel recovery yields. Recovered material origin data feeds back into the next product cycle.
Every Actor. One Thread.
