atma.io is a connected product cloud that assigns unique digital identities to individual products and records item-level events across supply chains, enabling traceability, digital product passports and circular outcomes such as resale and take‑back.

Circularity Relevance

Core
atma.io explicitly positions itself as enabling sustainability and circularity (item-level traceability, carbon measurement, and Digital Product Passports) on its product pages and blog. This is central to the platform offering. Source: atma.io, 2024

Circular Role

SupportEnabler
atma.io provides a cloud platform and tools that enable brands and partners to operate traceability, DPPs and circular programmes rather than directly performing resale or collection itself.

Circular Type

Traceability
Digital Product Passports (DPPs)
Platform explicitly offers Digital Product Passports and item-level traceability as core features. Source: atma.io DPP page, 2024

R Strategy

R3 - Reuse, R5 - Refurbish, R4 - Repair, R8 - Recycle
Primary: item-level IDs and use cases (buy-back, resale and second‑life) indicate Reuse (R3) and Refurbish (R5). Secondary strategies (Repair R4, Recycle R8) are supported indirectly via traceability enabling those flows.

The platform integrates with physical tagging technologies (RFID/NFC/QR) and is delivered by Avery Dennison which also supplies RFID inlays. atma.io therefore depends on physical tags/sensors to connect items, though the product itself is a cloud service. (See CHECK_RECORD for ambiguity.)

Tech Map Relevance

atma.io explicitly supports product-level traceability, digital product passports and circular use-cases (resale, buy-back) on its website and in Avery Dennison press materials; included for Tech Map relevance.
