The EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) Registry went live on July 20, 2026, but the QR code was never the hard part. The registry is, essentially, a directory. ☑️ What it does: verifies identifiers and controls who can register and read them. ❌ What it doesn't do: hold your traceability data. This means the data must still be built plot by plot, supplier by supplier, and consignment by consignment. Most importantly, it has to hold up under audit. If you're selling agri-commodities into the EU, you're already having to build that #traceability. #EUDR mandates geolocation down to the plot and a Due Diligence Statement per consignment. #PPWR mandates a Declaration of Conformity per packaging unit. ➡️ Every #DPP that touches your products will draw on the same evidence base. The great news is that the work you're doing for EUDR and PPWR isn't a separate compliance cost; instead, it's a headstart on DPP ! What we know: 💡 DPPs aren't mandatory just yet. That step comes a little later when its ESPR delegated act or sector-specific law requires it. Batteries are first in line, with February 2027 as the current kick-off timeline. 💡 The infrastructure is real, and the direction we’re moving is clear: verified, product-level traceability data, captured once and reused across every regulation. What we do is help you build that evidence base once, and then reuse it as regulations progress. Interested? Let's talk: https://lnkd.in/dYrWa93J #regulatorycompliance #streamlinedcompliance

22 days. As of August 12, 2026, packaging placed on the EU market must carry a Declaration of Conformity.    An article by The Carbon Trust lays it out quite clearly. The reality is that the PPWR has a very broad reach: anyone who places packaging, or packaged goods, on the EU market must comply by August 12th. From that point forward, various regulations will be phased in, such as minimization rules, empty-space limits, and bans on single-use items.    The challenge lies in gathering the evidence. What we see time and time again is that while the data exists, it's scattered across suppliers, plants, and spreadsheets.    A Declaration of Conformity turns that scattered data into a single signed, defensible document for each market and that's the exact workflow we automate at Agridence.    22 days.

In 24 days.... August 12th, every box entering the EU needs a Declaration of Conformity. Let's run a little mental exercise; walk down any supermarket aisle. How many products with packaging do you see? We're looking at hundreds of components, dozens of suppliers. And the one connecting dot: #PPWR, requiring each one to come with a #declarationofconformity, generated, signed and on file. The data usually exists, it's just scattered... Our solution pulls it into one place: 🔹 Every declaration generated straight from your bill of materials 🔹 Readiness tracked by market, so you see exactly where the gaps are 🔹 A per-market DoC signed by the right person with every signature locked and logged for audit The deadline is fixed. How ready are you? 📅Let's get you sorted: https://lnkd.in/dYrWa93J #PPWR #PackagingCompliance #Sustainability #SupplyChain #Traceability #EUDR #regulatorycompliance

"For a hundred years, Africa has sent its cocoa to the world in sacks and received it back in wrappers, paying at both ends of the transaction." - John Owan Enoh, Nigeria's Minister of State for Industry The Abuja Declaration, signed this week by Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon, is the first serious producer-side coordination on the deforestation regulation. The bloc, representing roughly 75% of the world's cocoa, is fighting on two fronts: 1. Ending Africa's role as a raw-bean supplier. 2. Refusing to let EUDR compliance costs land on smallholders who can't absorb them. The truth is every polygon captured, every legality declaration signed, and every mitigation document uploaded has a cost...but we want to avoid having those costs land on the people the regulation was designed to protect. So, what makes the 30 December 2026 deadline survivable for buyers and origin communities alike? It's by treating producing countries as counterparties, not solely evidence sources. The companies ahead of the game are those running traceability as partnerships in origin. What Agridence does: Build traceability at scale, help provide the tooling needed for geolocation capture for smallholders, DDS readiness, and origin-side data ownership. If cocoa is in your supply chain, the five months to 30 December 2026 are the window. Talk to us. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/ekxEMBNU

The technology matters, but the results come from the field method. Across recent mapping pilots, we have seen what happens when you get the approach right: 132,323 polygons mapped 390k hectares covered 88%+ average farmer conversion ~3 weeks per deployment We have now run our field service model across rubber in Sumatra, cocoa in Nigeria, and cashew in Côte d'Ivoire, taking commodity buyers from zero polygon coverage to a EUDR-ready dataset in weeks.

The UK has just announced a deforestation ban that brings the world's second major buyer market into close alignment with EUDR. Same commodities, similar reporting requirements, with geolocation on the table. The companies that built their traceability stack for the EU now hold a head start in two markets instead of one, and the cost of sitting this out is rising faster than most procurement teams have priced in.
