VeChain is already adapting to the EU ESPR regulation, which will require the digital EU product passport from 2027. He must document relevant product data.
VeChain’s blockchain receives an additional onchain layer of proof in order to store the data in a forgery-proof manner and make it accessible to authorized parties.

From 2027, according to the EU “Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation” (ESPR), numerous industrial products – including textiles, batteries and electronics – must be delivered with a digital product passport that contains information on origin, materials, CO₂ footprint, repairability and recycling potential.

Onchain Layer of Proof as a technological basis

VeChain offers a new technical level of storing product data immutably on the blockchain. The data sources are validated via an API-based “trust layer” so that companies can anchor the information directly in the VeChainThor blockchain.

This creates auditable and forgery-proof evidence that meets the requirements for digital product passports. This saves the affected companies from having to convert their own systems. The resulting transparency is intended to strengthen the circular economy and encourage companies to operate more sustainably.

VeChain sees the new regulation as an opportunity to establish its blockchain infrastructure as a technical backbone for the new EU documentation requirement.

What does this mean for companies?

With this orientation, VeChain is specifically targeting European manufacturers, retailers and transport companies that must meet the upcoming legal requirements.

EU regulation is creating a new market for digital product and sustainability data, and VeChain wants to position itself as a leading provider early on.

With VeChain, companies can store their DPP data in compliance with the law and at the same time make supply chain and sustainability information verifiable. The technology makes product counterfeiting more difficult, reduces legal risks and enables companies to test their adaptation measures without time pressure and to react to the obligation to have a digital EU product passport, which will apply from 2027.
