IOTA Gains Real-World Utility as Orobo Launches Digital Product Passports for EV Batteries

• For Digital Product Passports (DPPs), the Orobo platform will use IOTA’s features such as immutable event logging, digital twins, and privacy-protecting hashed data.
• It will use the IOTA Gas Station to expand participation while supporting EU Ecodesign and upcoming DPP mandates.

In yet another case of expanding IOTA’s real-world utility, modern infrastructure platform is using IOTA’s DLT technology to enable Digital Product Passports across its supply chain operations. The integration supports transparent, compliant, end-to-end product tracking, in a push for the real-world adoption of the protocol.

Orobo Uses IOTA Technology for Digital Product Passports

Orobo is developing a modern infrastructure framework for Digital Product Passports (DPPs). Initially, it will look after electric-vehicle batteries and later expand into textiles and construction. The system is anchored on IOTA’s distributed ledger technology, allowing supply chain stakeholders and regulators to access verifiable, compliant product data.

According to the company, the DPP framework design is regulation-ready to support compliance with the EU’s Ecodesign requirements. The platform provides immutable tracking for key supply-chain events, that includes production, transportation, and recycling.

Besides, Orobo has integrated the IOTA Gas Station mechanism for more user participation. Thus, it removes any barriers and allows any participant to interact with the system. Each product has its own digital twin, containing verifiable lifecycle data secured on the IOTA network.

The infrastructure offers privacy features by hashing sensitive information. It also allows audits without exposing confidential business data. Orobo added that the system is engineered for scalability, with custom Move-based smart contracts enabling lifecycle-linked data recording across multiple industries. Speaking on the development, Sann Carrière, founder of Orobo said:

“We chose IOTA because of its focus on real-world applications and a shared vision for digital ecosystems that serve both people and the planet”.

Helping Companies with the DPP Initiatives

The IOTA blockchain has been at the forefront of helping other companies achieve their Digital Product Passport (DPP) initiatives and make them compliant with EU requirements. The European Union has moved ahead with its Digital Product Passports (DPPs) as a mandatory implementation. Starting from 2026, DPP will address product specifications, repair history, and recycle information.

IOTA’s distributed ledger technology will support these requirements. IOTA will ensure that product data cannot be altered. As reported by CNF, this reduces fraud risks and helps companies comply with the EU’s DPP standards. Besides, the network also offers enterprise-level performance, processing up to 50,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality.

In another similar development, IOTA has released its Digital Product Passport demonstration for public access. It offers a practical look at key components of the IOTA Trust Framework.
