Built for ESPR, PPWR and the Battery Regulation

Every product, a verifiable passport

Scan to see origin, materials, and what happens next. VIQORE unifies verification, identity, quick response, origin and ecodesign into one compliance and traceability platform.

A code printed on a product cannot be recalled, repointed or reissued. Everything here is built around that fact, so a passport minted today still resolves and still verifies years from now.

One scan returns origin, materials and what happens at end of life. No app, no account, no tracking.

One passport, the whole way

A product passes through many hands before it reaches a shelf, and through more afterwards. The passport travels with it, gathering what each stage knows and keeping it verifiable long after the consignment is forgotten.

  1. Materials

    Origin, composition, recycled content

  2. Manufacture

    Facility, batch, date of production

  3. Distribution

    Consignment, handling, custody

  4. Retail

    The code on the product, scannable by anyone

  5. Second life

    Repair, resale, recycling instructions

How it works

  1. Describe the product

    Name, GTIN, product type, a photograph, and the fields a shopper or an inspector needs. The product type decides how long its passports stay online, because a battery and a cardboard sleeve are not the same obligation.

  2. Publish and mint

    Publishing freezes the version. Minting draws a code per item, signs each passport, and freezes the issuer with it, so a company that renames itself leaves every code already printed verifying exactly as before.

  3. Anyone scans it

    The code resolves to a page built for a phone in a shop. The signature can be checked against a public key without asking us anything, which is what separates a passport from a web page.

What the name stands for

Five commitments, and the platform is built so that each one is checkable rather than claimed.

  • Verification

    Every passport is cryptographically signed and independently verifiable. A scan proves what the manufacturer actually published, not what a web page happens to say today.

  • Identity

    Opaque, non sequential serials on GS1 Digital Link carriers. A code reveals nothing about batch size, production volume, or the order in which items were made.

  • Quick Response

    A code on the product resolves in milliseconds, on any phone, with no app to install. The public read path stays up even while everything else is being deployed.

  • Origin

    Materials, facility, batch and custody, recorded as the product moves and frozen at the moment of publication. Provenance a buyer or an inspector can follow back.

  • Ecodesign

    Durability, repairability, recycled content and end of life instructions, carried in the passport because that is what the Ecodesign regulation asks products to disclose.

  • Verification. Identity. Quick Response. Origin. Ecodesign.

Why now

The Digital Product Passport is law, not a trend. Three regulations set the shape of it, and the first hard date arrives in February 2027.

ESPR

Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation

The framework that introduces the Digital Product Passport. It entered into force in July 2024 and replaces the old Ecodesign Directive. Individual product groups gain their own requirements through delegated acts, with textiles, furniture, tyres, iron, steel and aluminium among the first in line.

Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, opens EUR-Lex in a new tab
Batteries

Battery Regulation

The first passport with a fixed date. From 18 February 2027, electric vehicle batteries, industrial batteries above 2 kWh and light means of transport batteries placed on the EU market each need a battery passport reachable from a code on the product.

Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, opens EUR-Lex in a new tab
PPWR

Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation

Recyclability, recycled content and labelling obligations for packaging placed on the EU market, with most provisions applying from August 2026. Packaging data sits naturally alongside the product it wraps.

Regulation (EU) 2025/40, opens EUR-Lex in a new tab

Dates and references are taken from the legislation itself, and every card links to the text on EUR-Lex. Check the source rather than trusting a vendor summary, including this one.
