Four steps from factory to consumer
Register products via the B2B dashboard or REST API. Each item gets a tamper-proof digital identity — sustainability data, certifications, and a unique QR/NFC code — secured on the blockchain automatically.
Scan-ready QR codes and NFC tags are generated automatically — ready to print on packaging, labels, or shipping documents. Each code is uniquely bound to a verified product, protecting your brand from the moment it leaves the factory.
When your product leaves the factory, your logistics partner scans and records each custody event — received, in storage, dispatched — directly on-chain. The passport stays accurate through every handoff, not just at the factory gate.
Customers scan with any smartphone — no app needed. They see the full product journey, sustainability certifications, and verified authenticity — instantly.
DPP implementation takes 12–18 months on average. Every deadline below is already a business risk.
The EU ECGT Directive bans terms like “eco-friendly” or “sustainable” without per-product, publicly verifiable evidence. Every brand selling into the EU is in scope — this takes effect now.
ECGT Directive — in forceBatteries placed on the EU market require a Digital Product Passport. No passport means no market access. Fines are mandated to be “effective, proportionate, and dissuasive” at member-state level.
EU ESPR Reg. 2024/1781Textile DPP rules are finalised in late 2027 with 18 months to comply. Brands with large SKU catalogues need 12–18 months to build data infrastructure — making 2026 the last safe starting point.
ESPR delegated act — textilesZalando, H&M and major EU retailers already require sustainability traceability data from suppliers. No verified documentation means losing shelf space — this is not a 2027 problem.
Active buyer requirementsESPR requires all economic operators — including logistics providers — to keep passport data accurate and up to date. Art. 29 links customs clearance to the unique registration identifier, placing compliance obligations at the warehouse, not just the factory.
ESPR Art. 29 — all actorsUnder ESPR, DPP data must remain accurate throughout the product’s full lifetime — including while it’s at your logistics partner. A passport that goes dark at shipment is a compliance gap regulators and retailers can see.
Most DPP platforms stop recording when goods leave the factory. ESPR Art. 29 requires the product’s unique identifier at customs clearance — typically handled by your 3PL. If your logistics partner isn’t on SCT, your passport has unverified gaps.
Your brand clients are under ESPR pressure. If you can record custody events on-chain, you win their logistics contracts over a competitor who can’t. Connect once to SCT — serve all your brand clients from one portal, no per-brand custom API.
When brand and 3PL are both on SCT, consumers see an unbroken chain — factory → warehouse → retail. Regulators see a complete, legally defensible audit trail. No brand-only DPP platform can match this.
DPP compliance has a price. So does the alternative.
A mid-size brand spends €15,000–€70,000 per year on manual sustainability data collection — email chains to suppliers, spreadsheet consolidation, third-party audits. SCT automates this from €149/month.
ECGT fines, ESPR market exclusion, CSRD reporting gaps — these are no longer hypothetical. Every certification stored on SCT’s blockchain is immutable, publicly verifiable, and legally defensible evidence.
Verified provenance strengthens resale market value. Every product scan is a direct post-sale channel. Your certifications become a competitive edge in retailer negotiations — not just a compliance checkbox.
Different sectors, same urgency — each with its own compliance deadline and business case
