What is a Digital Product Passport?
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a unique, public micro-website that includes information about a device.
TechReuse DPPs are custom built for computer refurbishers and IT asset disposition professionals.
How it Works
STEP 1
Create a TechTag
Each device receives a Tech Tag, a unique ID linked to the original owner.
STEP 2
Create the DPP
Software captures hardware specifications and create thes DPP.
STEP 2
Share the DPP
Links to the DPPs are sent to customers for complete transparency.
Give Proof
Proof of Receipt and Processing
Every DPP includes the manufacturer, model, serial number, processor, RAM, storage, and inspection status—verifying that the device was received and processed.
Proof of Data Destruction
Use industry-leading hard drive wipe software to securely destroy data and generate certificates of data destruction for clients.
Hard drive wipe logs can be recorded to the Ethereum blockchain, creating a permanent record of the event.
Proof of Location (GPS)
Scan the device’s QR code to associate its GPS location. The coordinates appear on a map linked to the DPP, offering additional proof that devices were received and shipped ot the agreed-upon locations.
Operational Benefits
Automatically Capture Hardware Specifications
Eliminate manual spreadsheet entry. The application automatically captures make, model, processor, serial number, and more. The application is installed on a bootable USB drive or via network boot, so the computer does not need Windows installed to run it. Easily upload hardware specifics with a smartphone by scanning a QR code, eliminating the necessity for wired network connections.
Print Hardware Spec Labels
Create and print labels for devices that show hardware specifications and a scannable QR code link to the device’s DPP. Easily print from the browser to a Dymo printer, pdf or other printers.
Manage Inventory Online
Use a cloud-based database to track inventory, customers, and sales.
Assign devices to lots and locations, and generate settlement or consignment reports.
NFT Tokenization
Decentralized Data
Each DPP can be converted into an NFT on the Ethereum blockchain, creating a permanent, decentralized record of:
- Hardware specifications
- Ownership
- Data wipe records
The metadata is associated with the NFT’s token, making it possible to transfer and share devices as NFTs. Decentralized storage of a DPP’s data is a European Union requirement for being CIRPAS compliant.
DPP Certified Refurbished
100% Proof of Quality
Hardware specifications, data wipe reports, serial numbers, battery health, benchmarks, and test results are stored in the DPP, providing buyers with proof of professional refurbishment.
Buyers simply scan the QR code on the device label to view the passport.
Increase Sales
Ecommerce Sales
- Export hardware specs for quick and detailed listing creation
- Upload inventory to Tradeloop with one click
- Export to Sellbrite for multichannel sales on eBay, Amazon, Shopify, and more
Wholesale Sales
- Create and export detailed inventory lists
- Generate shareable webpages for wholesale lots
- Easily email stock lists to bulk buyers
Compliance with Certifications & EU Regulations
R2 & e-Stewards Compliance
Both certifications require documented proof of hardware testing and device labeling.
TechReuse DPPs fulfill these requirements.
EU 2027 Digital Product Passport Mandate
Starting in 2027, all new and used electronics exported into the EU must include a DPP with decentralized metadata storage.
TechReuse meets these requirements today.
Other
Transfer Lots
Inventory lists and test results can be easily transferred between account users. Simple send another user a "Transfer Key" to import their inventory into your account.
Flexible Boot Options
Boot computer directly to a network (PXE) to launch the software or use a bootable USB stick for computers that don’t have network ports or if a network is not easily accessible.
