VeChain Powers EU Digital Product Passport Initiative With 100,000+ Transactions

• Early enterprise adoption is underway, with more than 100,000 on-chain transactions processed.
• The Rekord–VeChain partnership strengthens regulated RWA infrastructure.

Rekord AG will be one of the key infrastructure providers for the Digital Product Passport (DPP) initiative within the European Union, while running it on the VeChain blockchain network. It is part of the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and broader circular economy framework. The initiative allows products to carry verifiable digital records covering provenance, sourcing, lifecycle data, and sustainability credentials.

Rekord has already conducted one month of live operations for DPPs on the VeChain network. During this period, they have already processed more than 100,000 on-chain transactions, signaling early real-world adoption at enterprise scale.

The system puts verifiable data directly at the source through Rekord’s trust layer, before connecting permanent, independent records on the VeChainThor blockchain, powered by the VET token. Moreover, this rollout shows how the blockchain-based infrastructure offers measurable economic and compliance benefits under EU regulation. It also puts Rekord AG ahead in the regulated digital product transparency in Europe.

VeChain and Rekord AG entered into a partnership last month in order to build the tokenization infrastructure for real-world assets (RWAs). VeChain offers its energy-efficient blockchain to Rekord AG to significantly boost data streams by making them tamper-proof, which requires minimal integration effort.

Rekord selected Vechain as its partner due to its regulated use case and positioning as an enterprise-focused network, specifically designed for high-value applications. On the other hand, VeChain uses Rekord’s API-first trust layer to boost product authentication, enhance supply chain transparency, and improve sustainability reporting across its ecosystem.

The key area of focus for this partnership is Europe’s Digital Product Passport (DPP) initiative. The report notes that by design, the Digital Product Passport (DPP) supports the circular economy by directly linking product data with compliance and sustainability requirements.

The Push for Digital Product Passport (DPP)

Europe is moving ahead with plans to introduce a digital identity system for goods through the Digital Product Passport framework. This comes as regulators put greater focus on verifiable product records across supply chains.

Policymakers noted that a reliable reporting system is essential, which can withstand regulatory scrutiny throughout the product’s lifecycle. Under the Digital Product Passport model, each manufactured item gets a unique digital identity connected to a secure data profile.

The record can include information on origin, repair history, carbon footprint, and reuse or recycling guidance. Regulators say the initiative is designed to improve lifecycle oversight and compliance under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.
