> Supertrace is a Digital Product Passport (DPP) platform that helps manufacturers create EU-compliant product passports for transparency, sustainability, and regulatory compliance.

## What is Supertrace?

Supertrace is a software platform that enables businesses to create, manage, and share Digital Product Passports. Digital Product Passports are digital records containing comprehensive information about a product's origin, composition, environmental impact, repair instructions, and end-of-life handling. They are mandated by EU regulations including the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).

## What is a Digital Product Passport?

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a standardized digital record that provides transparency about a product throughout its lifecycle. It includes:
- Product identification and manufacturer details
- Material composition and substances of concern
- Carbon footprint and environmental impact metrics
- Recyclability scores and end-of-life instructions
- Repair and maintenance information
- Supply chain transparency data

DPPs are accessed via QR codes or other data carriers attached to products.
