Dublin / Dhaka — February 13, 2026
Kinset and ProKnoWara Consulting Firm have officially formalised a strategic partnership through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to accelerate EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) readiness across manufacturing chains beginning in Bangladesh.
The collaboration aims to explore how Digital Product Passport infrastructure can be implemented upstream, directly within manufacturing regions that supply into the European Union. This marks a critical step in preparing factories and suppliers for upcoming EU product transparency and sustainability regulations.
Building Practical DPP Readiness at Factory Level
Through this partnership, Kinset and ProKnoWara will jointly:
- Launch real-world DPP pilot projects with factories and suppliers
- Assess operational readiness for digital traceability systems
- Build robust product data foundations for EU regulatory compliance
- Strengthen end-to-end supply chain transparency
- Support manufacturers preparing for ESPR and future EU sustainability mandates
By combining Kinset’s digital DPP infrastructure capabilities with ProKnoWara’s on-ground industry implementation expertise, the partnership will create scalable, compliant, and factory-ready traceability ecosystems.
Accelerating EU Compliance Through Local Implementation
This initiative directly supports manufacturers serving EU markets in meeting evolving requirements under the EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) and Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) frameworks.
Together, Kinset and ProKnoWara are committed to transforming regulatory readiness into competitive advantage—positioning Bangladesh as a forward-looking, transparent, and sustainability-compliant manufacturing hub.
More pilot programs, factory onboarding initiatives, and ecosystem collaborations will be announced in the coming months.
