General information

Short Summary
A UK start-up offers a Digital Product Passport for textiles and furniture via a Commercial Agreement with Technical Assistance. The platform supports compliance and boosts brand marketing by enabling direct consumer engagement, showcasing product origin, materials, and sustainability, while promoting circular practices like repair and reuse.
Full Description
The company is seeking international collaboration with textiles and furniture businesses in Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands to test and expand its solution on a commercial basis. By turning compliance into a marketing asset, the offering allows brands to generate more value from their data — boosting sales, enhancing consumer relationships, and strengthening positioning in an increasingly sustainability-driven marketplace.

The company develops compliance-driven technology for the circular economy, specialising in Digital Product Passports (DPPs). Their platform integrates AI, advanced data modelling, API-first architecture, and secure cloud deployment to enable real-time sharing of product lifecycle information across supply chains. The company is pioneering the use of AI Agents to connect disparate systems and allow natural language querying of DPPs. The solutions are designed for interoperability, high availability, and regulatory compliance under ESPR and related frameworks.

The company will provide a working MVP that allows customers to query Digital Product Passports and return aggregated information in human relatable references, usability and accessibility testing via a consumer mobile application.

Unlike consultancy, niche focus and B2B industry competitors, the company uses DTC (direct to consumer) communication to turn compliance into competitive value for businesses and consumers. This can generate new revenue and increase market share by 15-20% within the first year, offsetting compliance costs.
Advantages and Innovations
The platform transforms regulatory compliance into a marketing asset, helping brands unlock value from their data to boost sales, deepen consumer trust, and strengthen sustainability positioning.

Key innovations include:
• AI-powered DPPs with natural language querying
• Real-time lifecycle data sharing across supply chains
• API-first architecture and secure cloud deployment
• Interoperability and ESPR compliance
Direct-to-consumer engagement, unlike traditional B2B solutions
The company provides a working MVP with a consumer-facing mobile app for usability testing. Early adopters can expect up to 15–20% revenue growth in the first year, offsetting compliance costs.

Partner Sought

Expected Role of a Partner
The company is seeking international collaboration with textiles and furniture businesses in Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands to test and expand its solution on a commercial basis.

The partner company will play a pivotal role in trialling and validating the Digital Product Passport solution. As a small to medium-sized manufacturer or brand, they will deploy the passports across a select range of their products during the pilot phase, providing valuable feedback on usability, data integration, and customer engagement. The collaboration will focus on practical implementation, linking product information, sustainability data, and supply chain transparency through the digital passport interface.

Following a successful pilot, the partner will support scaling across additional product lines, helping demonstrate the solution’s commercial and operational viability within real-world manufacturing settings. Their involvement will be essential in shaping deployment processes that are proportionate to the needs and capacities of SMEs, without the excessive administrative overheads typical of large enterprise programmes.
