Beyond Bar Code

Our CEO Suna Akbayir spoke at Istanbul Textile and Raw Materials Exporters Association (İTHİB)'s live webinar…

The session covered where the textile rules stand today, why accurate supplier data matters for the final product's passport, what the EU Registry stores, the eight horizontal EN standards, and how to choose a DPP provider without getting locked in. The textile passport is not mandatory yet, but exporters who start organising their data now will be better prepared when the rules apply. Thank you to İTHİB and to all participants. If you would like to start with one product family, our 7-step DPP readiness programme is a good place to begin. www.beyondbarcode.com #DigitalProductPassport #DPP #Textiles #ESPR Guven Fidan, Ph.D. Taner Gulez, MSc., PMP Tutku Asarkaya Özen Emine S.

We recently took part in Circular Textile Days, valuable two days for everyone working on the future of the…

The sessions covered the Digital Product Passport and its implementation, traceability, the circular textile economy and sustainability in practice. The focus has clearly shifted from discussing regulation in theory to making it work on the ground. The conversations in between were just as meaningful. We met brands, manufacturers and solution providers, and opened the door to new partnership opportunities. We return inspired and even more convinced that simplifying product compliance is key to making circularity real. Thank you to the organisers and everyone we met. #CircularTextileDays #DigitalProductPassport #DPP #CircularEconomy #Traceability #Sustainability #TextileIndustry #BeyondBarCode Guven Fidan, Ph.D. Suna Akbayir Taner Gulez, MSc., PMP Ebru Yalçın Nesrin Serin Emre Metin Emine S.

Where were we last week?

Artech International BVBA and Beyond Bar Code spent last week talking about the Digital Product Passport with manufacturers, exporters, certifiers and standards people. Here is where we were: 📍 22 September | Industry's Transformation for Sustainable Products: ESPR and DPP, Istanbul Chamber of Industry, 📍 23 September | Textile DPP: From New EU Requirements to Actionable Compliance, our joint webinar with USB Certification, in Turkish and English, 📍 24 September | Digital Product Passport and Twin Transition in the Apparel Supply Chain Conference, IHKIB - Istanbul Apparel Exporters Association and the T.C. Sanayi ve Teknoloji Bakanlığı | Republic Of Türkiye Ministry of Industry and Technology Istanbul, Türkiye 📍 24 September | DPP Festival, Centre of Excellence for Data Sharing & Cloud, Hilversum, Netherlands 📍 25 September | CELTIC-NEXT EUREKA CLUSTER Proposers' Brokerage Day, imec, Leuven, Belgium One thing was the same in every room. Nobody is asking what a Digital Product Passport is anymore. They are asking who does what, by when, and what it costs. That is a good sign. If we met last week, thank you. If we did not, our door is open. Connect. Compliant. Done. #DigitalProductPassport #DPP #ESPR #EURegulation #Compliance #Textile #Manufacturing #Sustainability #BeyondBarCode #ArtechInternational Suna Akbayir, Nesrin Serin, Emre Metin, Tutku Asarkaya Özen, Guven Fidan, Ph.D., Taner Gulez, MSc., PMP, Ebru Yalçın, Emine S., İremgül Utlu

We held the kick-off meeting of our Digital Product Passport (DPP) project with İskur Tekstil on 16-17 September at İSKUR's Kahramanmaraş facilities. The partnership began with the memorandum of understanding signed in May by Beyond Bar Code, USB Certification and İSKUR under the Belgian Economic Mission. It now continues as a joint working programme. Within the project, product level data will be verified by our project partner USB Certification, an accredited certification body. Every data field is therefore designed to stand up to accredited verification and to a customer audit. DPP is a precondition for access to the EU market. Under ESPR it becomes mandatory for textiles in stages from 2027. Manufacturers that start preparing early are already meeting their customers' data requests ahead of their competitors. Our goal is a reference DPP implementation: product level data that is verified, recognised in the EU and scalable across the sector. Our special thanks to Ismail Kurtul and the teams at İSKUR Tekstil and USB Certification who contributed to this reference project. We keep working to get Turkish textiles strongly prepared for DPP. --------- 𝗗𝗶𝗷𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗨𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂 𝘀𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘆𝗼𝗿. İSKUR Tekstil ile yürüteceğimiz Dijital Ürün Pasaportu (DPP) Projemizin açılış toplantısını 16-17 Eylül'de İskur Tekstil Kahramanmaraş tesislerinde gerçekleştirdik. Mayıs ayında Belçika Ekonomi Misyonu kapsamında Beyond Bar Code, USB Certification ve İSKUR tarafından imzalanan mutabakatla başlayan birlikteliğimiz, artık ortak bir çalışma programıyla devam ediyor. Proje kapsamında ürün bazlı veriler, proje ortağımız ve akredite belgelendirme kuruluşu USB Certification tarafından doğrulanacak. Böylece her veri alanı, akredite doğrulamaya ve müşteri denetimine dayanacak şekilde kurgulanıyor. AB pazarına erişimin ön koşulu olan DPP, ESPR kapsamında tekstilde 2027'den itibaren kademeli olarak zorunlu hale geliyor. Bu sürece erkenden hazırlanmaya başlayan üreticilerimiz, müşterilerinin veri talebini rakiplerinden önce karşılıyor. Hedefimiz, ürün bazlı verisi doğrulanmış, AB'de tanınabilir ve sektöre yaygınlaştırılabilir bir referans DPP uygulaması ortaya koymak. Bu referans projede emeği geçen başta Ismail Kurtul olmak üzere İSKUR Tekstil ve USB Certification ekiplerine teşekkür ederiz. Türkiye tekstilinin güçlü bir şekilde DPP'ye hazırlanması için yorulmadan devam ediyoruz. #DigitalProductPassport #DijitalÜrünPasaportu #DPP #ESPR #Tekstil #Sürdürülebilirlik #Sustainability Suna Akbayir Nesrin Serin Emre Metin Guven Fidan, Ph.D. Ebru Yalçın USB Certification İskur Tekstil

EUROPE’S TECH SOVEREIGNTY MUST BE BUILT.

Happy to wrap up the FIWARE Global Summit 2026 in Menton. Beyond Bar Code was pleased to exhibit and contribute to discussions on European AI sovereignty and Digital Product Passports, sharing our perspective on open, interoperable and sovereign digital infrastructures for European industry. Great conversations, strong connections, and plenty of momentum for what comes next. Europe cannot regulate its way to sovereignty. It has to build it. In the era of AI autonomy and growing technological dependence, European tech independence will be defined by our ability to control critical infrastructure, data, identity and industrial digital ecosystems. This is where open technologies, interoperable architectures and Digital Product Passports become strategic infrastructure — not simply compliance tools. That is the future we are building toward. #FIWARE #FIWAREGlobalSummit #DigitalProductPassport #DPP #AISovereignty #DigitalSovereignty #TechSovereignty #BeyondBarCode Guven Fidan, Ph.D. FIWARE Chandra Challagonda

We are exhibiting at the FIWARE Global Summit 2026.

📍 Palais de l'Europe, Menton, France 📅 9-10 September 2026 Beyond Bar Code will be in the exhibition area on both days. Stop by our stand to see how Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements turn into working systems: DPP data models on NGSI-LD, cross-sector supply chain traceability, and compliance data that machines can actually read. On day two, our CEO Suna Akbayir takes the stage with Eusebiu Catana: 🗣️ Digital Product Passports Across Cross-sector Traceability With FIWARE 🕧 10 September, 12:20-12:40, Salle Monaco Part of the "Making Data Spaces Happen" track If DPP, ESPR or supply chain traceability is on your 2027 roadmap, come and find us in Menton. ̲ 🎟️ Tickets: https://lnkd.in/dsk-eA3j #FIWARESummit26 #FIWARE #DigitalProductPassport #DPP #ESPR #DataSpaces #Traceability #BeyondBarCode Taner Gulez, Guven Fidan, Ph.D., Tutku Asarkaya Özen, Emine S., Etem Derman Artech International BVBA

Our paper is out.

"Digital Product Passports for Circular Supply Chains" opens the August 2026 issue of the Journal of Innovation, the peer-reviewed journal of the EDM Association (OMG). Authors: Suna Akbayir, Guven Fidan, Ph.D. and Taner Gulez, Artech International BVBA & Beyond Bar Code. Most DPP writing stops at the regulation. We report what happens when you actually build one across a multi-tier supply chain, drawing on two live pilots, batteries and textiles. Three findings: 1. Data quality is solvable. Mandatory field completeness went from about 55% to about 88%. 2. The bottleneck is organisational. Tier 1 with an API connected in 10 days. Tier 2 and Tier 3 without middleware took 6 to 8 weeks. 3. Two valid passports can disagree about the same product. The same battery returned different recycled-content figures under CX-0143 and the GBA Battery Passport. Our answer is a five-layer open architecture, federated by design, with an entry tier that does not price SMEs out. It also names the Cross-border Recognition Bridge, the eIDAS 2.0 trust chain that makes an issuer's authority verifiable across member states.

The car is becoming a data product. On 13 August 2026, the EU made it official.

The new End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Regulation has entered into force and it does something the old directive never did: it makes proof a design requirement, not an afterthought at the scrapyard. For decades the automotive sector optimised for one moment: the sale. The ELV Regulation stretches accountability across the whole lifecycle: design → use → dismantling → recovery → second life. And it hard-wires that accountability into data. What actually changes for manufacturers: 🔧 Recycled content stops being a marketing claim: new vehicles must reach 15% recycled plastic within ~6 years, rising to 25% and you must prove where every gram came from. ♻️ The bar stays high: 85% recyclability and 95% recoverability by weight, plus a 30% recycling target for ELV plastics. 🧩 Design-for-dismantling becomes measurable components and materials must be identifiable so recyclers aren't guessing. 📄 Paper trails give way to electronic certificates of destruction and digital record-keeping. And the piece to watch: the Circularity Vehicle Passport (CVP). The CVP is a Digital Product Passport for vehicles a machine-readable record linking materials, components, recycled-content declarations, hazardous-substance data and dismantling instructions, that stays live as the vehicle changes hands. A recycler, a customs officer and an auditor each scan the same carrier and get the slice of truth they're entitled to. The trap: most will treat the CVP as a label to print. It isn't! it's a data governance problem wearing a QR code. If your recycled-content figures live in three spreadsheets and your supplier declarations aren't verifiable, the passport just exposes the gaps faster. At Beyond Barcode, we turn this from a compliance scramble into a verifiable, interoperable product story from factory floor to second life. Start now, not at the deadline: ✅ Map recycled-content and material data at component level ✅ Make supplier declarations verifiable, not just collected ✅ Assign data ownership across R&D, procurement and after-sales ✅ Pressure-test that your identifiers resolve to structured, role-based data Batteries were the opening act. Automotive is now on the same road. If you build vehicles or parts for them, your clock is already running. ⏳ 👇 Where is your CVP readiness today: data strategy, or still a sticker at the end of the line? #ELVRegulation #DigitalProductPassport #DPP #CircularityVehiclePassport #Automotive #CircularEconomy #Traceability #Sustainability #BeyondBarcode Guven Fidan, Ph.D. Suna Akbayir USB Certification GreenLife Sustainability Consulting ANKA SUSTAINABILITY

Can your disclosure travel with your product, stay machine-readable, and be verified from factory to shelf?

Static paper files and static reports belong to yesterday. As AI spreads across products, supply chains, and customer interfaces, you must prove: • Which AI models and systems were used • Where machine-generated data originated • Who is responsible for that data and how it was modified This is where AI transparency meets the Digital Product Passport (DPP) giving AI disclosures a permanent, verifiable home that connects product identities with compliant, interoperable data across the entire value chain. ⏳ The deadline is here ! The transition for marking requirements ends December 2, 2026, with penalties reaching €15M or 3% of global turnover. At Beyond Barcode, we build for this future: turning paper compliance into digital product stories every machine can read and verify. 👇 Watch our 2-minute video to see how it works. #EUAIAct #DigitalProductPassport #DPP #SupplyChain #ProductCompliance #BeyondBarcode Guven Fidan, Ph.D. Suna Akbayir Artech International BVBA MindMons Technologies European Commission Emre Metin USB Certification Nesrin Serin FIWARE ANKA SUSTAINABILITY GreenLife Sustainability Consulting

The EU DPP Registry is live : Shift from building infrastructure to sector-specific implementation.

On 20 July 2026 the European Commission's Digital Product Passport Registry became operational, alongside a new central DPP web page and a testing environment. The focus is now shifting decisively from building infrastructure to sector-specific implementation. What's on the roadmap (indicative EU timeline): 📅 Sept 2026 —> Implementing Decision on the final two DPP standards (completing the six-standard package) 📅 Q4 2026 —> ESPR Delegated Act for Iron & Steel + Implementing Act on Battery DPP access rights 📅 18 Feb 2027 —> DPP becomes mandatory for certain batteries (EV, industrial & light-means-of-transport) 📅 Q2–Q4 2027 —> DPP requirements extend to construction products, then textiles, aluminium and tyres 📅 2028–2029 —> furniture, followed by mattresses and recycled content Batteries are first, but if you make textiles, steel, construction products or furniture for the EU market, your clock is already running too. ⏳ The practical to-do list for economic operators: ✅ Map and clean your product & supply-chain data (composition, origin, circularity, compliance) ✅ Verify your identity as an economic operator — a Qualified Electronic Seal (QES) under eIDAS is required before registration ✅ Assign data ownership and governance across the value chain — DPP is an organisational challenge as much as a technical one ✅ Pressure-test traceability and your QR/data-carrier setup Preparation beats scramble. How ready is your organisation for 2027? 🔗 Official EU DPP web page: https://lnkd.in/dUn6EY3U 🔗 Registry launch announcement: https://lnkd.in/ecsb5D5R #DigitalProductPassport #DPP #ESPR #BatteryPassport #Traceability #CircularEconomy #EURegulation #Sustainability #SupplyChain Guven Fidan, Ph.D. Suna Akbayir Artech International BVBA
