Repair
Date, operator, work performed, replacement parts and technical documentation remain linked to the product.
Lifecycle & circularity
The DPP follows the product through end of life.
NexusDPP connects post-sale events to the passport: maintenance, repair, transfer, reuse, second life, collection, recovery, recycling and lifecycle closure.
Lifecycle continuity
Traceability continues beyond market placement.
The passport can become the product’s digital memory. Authorised operators record events that change its status, destination, value and recovery potential.
- Maintenance and repair: interventions, replaced parts, documents and technical updates.
- Transfer and reuse: change of user, refurbishment and new use.
- Second life and remanufacturing: assessments, processing and product reconfiguration.
- Collection and reverse logistics: handover, acceptance, transport and destination.
- Recovery and recycling: treatment, recovered materials, outcome and lifecycle closure.
Traceable events
From after-sales service to verified lifecycle closure.
The NexusDPP model configures the events relevant to each product category and connects them to the correct DPP, accountable operator and supporting evidence.
Reuse and second life
The passport records the new application, transfer and conditions supporting the continuation of the lifecycle.
Collection and handover
Acceptance is associated with place, date, operator, quantity and next destination.
Remanufacturing
Components, processing, tests and the new configuration can be documented in an updated DPP version.
Recycling and recovery
Treatment outcome, recovered materials, generated fractions and facility documents are linked to the product identity.
Lifecycle closure
The DPP can reach a verified final state with a complete chronology of events and collected evidence.
E-PoC
Digital proof for every lifecycle event.
The E-PoC module — digital event proof — links the real-world action to the passport and makes it possible to verify who did what, when, where and on the basis of which document.
Identity
The product, component, batch or individual unit affected by the event.
Authorised party
Manufacturer, importer, repairer, collection centre, logistics operator, refurbisher, facility or verifier.
Time and place
Date, site, facility or collection point associated with the operation.
Evidence
Service report, transport document, declaration, photograph, weighing record, certificate or other attachment.
Validation and integrity
Approval, digital fingerprint, timestamp and audit trail according to the project configuration.
New DPP status
The passport can move, for example, from active to repaired, reused, second life, collected, recycled or closed.
End-of-life actors
Each party updates only the information within its responsibility.
Role-based access and selective sharing make it possible to involve the value chain while separating public data, operational data and confidential evidence.
Manufacturer or importer
Defines the lifecycle model, publishes instructions and governs the information linked to the product.
Service and repair
Records diagnosis, interventions, replaced parts, outcome and renewed fitness for use.
Collection and reverse logistics
Documents handover, acceptance, movement and the destination of the product.
Reuse and refurbishment
Adds assessments, processing, tests and conditions for the new use.
Recycler or recovery operator
Records treatment, quantities, fractions, recovered materials and final outcome.
Verifier or authority
Accesses evidence allowed by its role and can validate or inspect authorised events.
Batteries and complex products
Second life, repurposing and recovery become part of the digital history.
For batteries and technical products, NexusDPP can connect identity, technical condition, maintenance, transfer, second life, collection and recycling. Available information helps operators assess the most suitable route and document its outcome.
- Technical data and product condition before second life.
- Dismantling, safety and treatment documentation.
- Traceability of components and recovered materials.
- Passport update after reuse, repurposing or recycling.
“NexusDPP follows the product from the creation of its digital identity through the verifiable registration of recovery, recycling and end-of-life events.”
NexusDPP operational visionBusiness value
End of life becomes a structured source of data and evidence.
A reliable chronology improves collaboration between operators, raises data quality and makes completed activities easier to demonstrate.
Stronger reporting
Collection, reuse, recovery and recycling data can support indicators, reporting and reviews.
Coordinated reverse logistics
Product, event, operator and destination remain connected in a readable flow.
Evidence and accountability
Documents, revisions and approvals make the product journey reconstructable.
Value retention
Repair, reuse and second life can be managed as operational routes before recycling.
Recovered materials
The value chain can document the quantity, quality and destination of resources obtained from treatment.
Value-chain transparency
Brands, partners and authorised parties access information consistent with their role.
European framework
References for circularity and end of life.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 on ecodesign for sustainable products creates the framework for requirements concerning, among other aspects, durability, repairability, reusability, recyclability, material recovery and the Digital Product Passport. For batteries, Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 addresses the full lifecycle, including collection, reuse and recycling.
