Tappr’s Digital Product Passport Demo

Tappr’s highlight at the event was demonstrating our Digital Product Passport (DPP) solution at our booth.

The live demo showcased how DPP can revolutionize supply chain visibility — all through the scan of a QR code.

This was a great opportunity to share how our solution works with textile companies in tracking and sharing detailed product lifecycle information, from material sourcing to recycling pathways — making transparency and accountability more achievable than ever.
