‘World-First’ Digital Products Passport Platform For Global Street

A groundbreaking collaboration will give local councils, theme parks, developers and other global attractions unprecedented insight into when products require repair, alongside detailed information on materials, sourcing and lifecycle performance, all while aligning with emerging product transparency regulations.

ubloquity, the NI technology company pioneering IoT, AI and blockchain powered supply chain visibility, has partnered with award winning global street furniture designer Environmental Street Furniture (ESF) to launch a new Digital Products Passport platform. Also known as DP3, this platform allows ESF customers to access real time, verifiable data on product materials, recycled content, repair history and environmental performance.

As international regulation accelerates towards mandatory digital product transparency, with the rollout of the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), this initiative positions ubloquity and ESF at the forefront of compliance and sustainability innovation worldwide.

At the same time, across the supply chain, businesses face increasing demands for ESG reporting, lifecycle transparency and sustainability data.

ubloquity’s solution solves these problems, allowing ESF customers to track materials used, including recycled content and origin. It also means users of the system can log maintenance, repairs and upgrades throughout the product’s lifecycle; access compliance ready environmental reporting that aligns with EU sustainability standards; and verify authenticity and ESG performance using tamper proof digital records, building on ubloquity’s proven applications in other industries.

Kieran Kelly, founder & CEO, ubloquity, added:

“This partnership shows how innovation here in Northern Ireland can solve global challenges. Our ubiNex technology platform is already transforming traceability in complex sectors, and through our partnership with ESF, we’re bringing trusted, real time sustainability data to the public infrastructure and built environment sectors. It is a game-changing development, and we’re excited to roll this out.”

Environmental Street Furniture supplies products across commercial developments, education campuses, hospitality, public realm projects, tourism attractions and world leading theme parks. Already exporting to 26 countries worldwide from its base in Northern Ireland, ESF is an ideal early adopter for scalable Digital Product Passport technology.

Alan Lowry, CEO, Environmental Street Furniture said:

“Environmental responsibility is now a business necessity. Our portfolio of customers, from councils to theme parks, now expect verifiable sustainability data. Our DP3 platform provides the transparency they need, from verifying recycled materials to maintaining repair logs, and supporting compliance with fast approaching EU and global standards.”
