    A digital record that mirrors a physical tyre throughout its life — where it is, what it's fitted to and what has happened to it.

    Digital Product Passport (DPP)

    A structured digital record linked to a product through a data carrier, sharing information on origin, materials, use, repair and end of life.

    GS1 Digital Link
