Circular Role

SupportEnabler
UNISOT is provided as a SaaS platform (self-service instances for customers) that other organisations use to run DPPs, LCA and traceability - i.e. it supplies the tooling rather than acting as a logistics operator. Source: UNISOT, 2024

Circular Type

Traceability
Digital Product Passports (DPPs)
Primary product offerings include Digital Product Passport modules, blockchain data interchange and global inventory management - categorised as Traceability with DPP sub-type. Source: UNISOT, 2024

R Strategy

R2 - Reduce, R8 - Recycle, R3 - Reuse, R5 - Refurbish
Evidence: LCA module supports near real-time environmental impact assessment (R2 Reduce). DPP and material tracking support recycling and material recovery (R8 Recycle). The platform also enables transparency that can support reuse/refurbishment flows (R3, R5) though those are not the explicit primary function. Source: UNISOT, 2024, Source: UNISOT, 2024
