TrueTwins is a Scandinavian innovation lab that provides a Digital Product Passport platform. The platform assigns unique digital identities to individual products and links them to secure, verifiable data (using NFC tags and QR codes), adhering to GS1 and ISO standards and aligning with UNTP and W3C frameworks to support EU DPP compliance. TrueTwins offers APIs and developer tools for integration and is marketed as low‑carbon and cryptographically verifiable. Source: TrueTwins, 2025
Circularity Relevance
Core
TrueTwins explicitly offers Digital Product Passports and documents product provenance and end-of-life information - a core traceability tool for circular economy use cases. Evidence from the company website; corroboration from independent sources not found in this check. Source: TrueTwins, 2025
Circular Role
SupportEnabler
TrueTwins provides APIs, developer tools and a platform for brands to issue and manage Digital Product Passports rather than directly operating marketplaces or logistics - therefore a SupportEnabler. Source: TrueTwins, 2025
Circular Type
Traceability
• Digital Product Passports (DPPs)
The product is explicitly a Digital Product Passport solution-this is a Traceability tool (DPP) that documents product identities and lifecycle data. Source: TrueTwins, 2025
The platform documents provenance and 'from birth to end of life', supporting reuse (R3) and recycling (R8) as primary circular outcomes. The tracking and data can also support repair (R4) and refurbishment (R5). These assignments are inferred from product passport functionality described on the site rather than explicit feature-to-R-strategy mapping. Source: TrueTwins, 2025
Circular Business Model
Resale / Second-hand, Take-back / Buy-back
Digital Product Passports enable resale/second‑hand markets and take-back schemes by providing verifiable product history and provenance. The site emphasises enabling industry compliance and consumer trust rather than operating these models directly. Source: TrueTwins, 2025
