- The blockchain platform Vechain is well placed to support Digital Product Passport (DPP) compliance, ensuring transparency and sustainability by tracking products from raw materials to waste.
- With tools such as NFT-based product IDs, carbon tracking, and real-time supply chain data, Vechain is already adopted by industries such as wine, fashion, and logistics.
In 2026, almost all products sold in the European Union must comply with Digital Product Passport (DPPS) regulations, which set standards for tracking products from raw materials to waste. Initiatives aimed at improving transparency, traceability and sustainability are expected to transform global trade standards. Therefore, Vechain, a popular US-based blockchain platform, has already established itself as a key player in driving this shift.
Vechain’s digital product passport plays a major role in Europe
Sebastian Locke, Ambassador Vechine, a well-known investor x. He wrote,
The way we buy, sell and trust products is about to change forever. All products have a digital ID. All supply chains are transparent. #GreenWashing is not possible.
This broader sustainability strategy is part of the DPP mandate received from the European Commission. In particular, all products require data on validated origins, carbon emissions potential, recyclability, repair history, and ethical procurement under this Act. “This is not a startup idea. It’s a law,” declared Rok.
It is also important to note that regulations do not affect Europe alone. Lock explained,
Global brands must follow. China plans similar requirements. The US follows with carbon disclosure. Global trades require real-time verifiable on-chain data.
These requests appear to be suitable from BAT by Vechain’s existing infrastructure. Other blockchain networks have stripped the leaf from speculative trading and Meme Coins books, but Vechain has specialized enterprise tools. Rok also explained that VeChain offers “NFT-based product IDs, carbon tracking, enterprise onboarding tools, real-time supply chain data and regulatory grade integration.”
In fact, VeChain is employed in several industries. “Wine – Vineyard, Storage, Delivery Proof. From Fiber to Retail, All On-Chain, All Carbon – Verified Offsets, Not Spreadsheets. Construction – Materials + Emissions Live. Logistics – Delivery Proof + ESG Scoring”
Other Regulatory Milestones for Vechain in the EU
Additionally, Vechain not only complies with Micar, the EU market in regulating code breaking, but also adopts another major milestone. Rok pointed out, “Every chain you want to operate in Europe must follow. Vechain doesn’t just meet the standards. It helps to shape it.”
Rok considers it a clear DPP that looks at real applications as RPPs that are most similar to modern barcodes. He said, “Most chains focus on trading, yields and memes. Vechain focuses on product-level truth, behavioral trust, real-world compliance, transparent sustainability and scalable infrastructure.”
Moreover, verifiable data is needed these days by governments and brands under pressure to prove their sustainability claims. So, as mentioned in a previous report, Vechain’s foundations could ultimately be the backbone of a more transparent digital economy.
