A Blockchain-based Framework for Secure and Transparent Digital Product Passports in Industrial Supply Chains
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article presents the DigInTraCE Blockchain Module, a secure and scalable framework for managing Digital Product Passports (DPPs) and traceability data across industrial supply chains. Built on Hyperledger Fabric, the solution combines distributed ledger technology, cloud-native infrastructure, smart contracts, and standardized EPCIS 2.0 traceability to enable trusted collaboration among multiple stakeholders. The technical article describes the platform architecture, governance mechanisms, secure API integration, identity management, and blockchain-based validation processes that support transparent, interoperable, and auditable product lifecycle information. The proposed framework provides a robust foundation for future Digital Product Passport implementations and circular industrial value chains.
