Digital Platformer Launches gLog Solution for European DPP Compliance in Japan

Digital Platformer Unveils gLog: A Blockchain Solution for DPP Compliance in Japan

In a significant move towards ensuring product authenticity and enhancing traceability, Digital Platformer Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has launched its innovative blockchain-based solution, gLog. This initiative is designed to cater specifically to the Japanese market while utilizing the Digital Product Passport (DPP) framework developed by Genuino Blockchain Technologies S.r.l., based in Cagliari, Italy.

Understanding Digital Product Passport (DPP) and gLog

The Digital Product Passport is becoming increasingly mandatory within the European Union, aiming to provide reliable information throughout the product lifecycle, from raw material sourcing to disposal. gLog plays a pivotal role in this initiative by acting as a digital infrastructure that guarantees product authenticity and transparency. This solution not only focuses on traceability but also promotes practices aligned with a circular economy, encouraging the reuse, repair, and recycling of products.

Whether in the food and beverage sectors or in apparel, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and more, gLog provides comprehensive solutions to address pressing corporate challenges like authenticity, transparency, and sustainability. Through the integration of corporate IDs, gLog aims to establish a next-generation supply chain foundation that can trace and verify each step in the manufacturing, processing, distribution, and disposal phases.

A Closer Look at gLog

gLog leverages Genuino's established DPP framework used across various sectors in Europe. This solution records crucial lifecycle information on the blockchain, ensuring immutability and ease of access. For instance, in the European market, Genuino has successfully implemented DPP for wine, apparel, furniture, and automotive parts, meeting new EU regulations. By incorporating gLog in the Japanese market, businesses can present evidence of a product's origin, environmental impact, and distribution history, thus enhancing SDGs compliance, ESG investments, and trust in import/export transactions.

Highlighted Use Cases in the Beverage Sector

Currently, gLog has made notable advancements in the food and beverage sector, especially for EU export products such as wine. Specific data points recorded for individual products include:

- Grape varietals, harvest dates, and vineyard locations
- Vinification methods, aging periods, and bottling dates
- Responsible manufacturers, storage conditions, and shipping routes
- Scannable QR codes for smartphone access
- All data is NFT-identified and documented on the blockchain

This technological framework guarantees product authenticity, helps prevent counterfeiting, caters to cross-border e-commerce needs, and boosts brand strength through storytelling. Such a system is also adaptable to various traditional Japanese products, organic foods, and daily essentials.

Future Prospects: Towards a Circular Economy

Digital Platformer is poised to further develop the platform by integrating Decentralized Identifiers (DID) and Verified Credentials (VC). This will enable the linking of gLog with corporate IDs, allowing the verification of not only product information but also the authenticity of involved entities and individuals throughout the manufacturing and distribution processes.

Expected outcomes include:

- Promoting circular economies through resource recovery and repair history documentation
- Enhancing transparency across collaborative supply chains and clarifying responsibilities
- Supporting ESG and environmental regulatory compliance evidence
- Utilization in international trade, export management, and supply source management

With the deployment of gLog as a vital digital infrastructure, Digital Platformer aims to contribute significantly to solving societal challenges through innovative technology.
