Kinset Wins the CircThread Digital Product Passport Hackathon
Kinset has won the CircThread Digital Product Passport Hackathon. Our team took on the challenge of making sustainability data easier to use, helping brands prepare for upcoming EU regulations with clear, actionable insights.
Turning Compliance into Opportunity
The CircThread Hackathon, held on February 25-26, 2025, brought together businesses, sustainability experts, and technology providers to explore how Digital Product Passports (DPPs) can work in real-world scenarios. At Kinset, we see these upcoming EU regulations as an opportunity for brands to build more transparent and resilient supply chains.
That’s exactly what we set out to demonstrate at the hackathon.
Our Winning Approach: Smarter Supply Chains with DPPs
Our project focused on integrating Digital Product Passports with Kinset’s platform, making sustainability data easier to track, manage, and act on. Our solution:
- Maps supply chains in detail, helping brands understand product origins and materials at a granular level.
- Automates sustainability data collection, removing the complexity from compliance.
- Supports circularity tracking, giving businesses a clearer picture of durability, recyclability, and end-of-life strategies.
What’s Next
Winning this challenge means Kinset has secured a place in the IMR Digital Accelerator program, gaining up to €60,000 in technical advisory support. This will help us further develop our platform and ensure brands have the tools they need to meet new regulatory requirements with confidence.
We’re excited to continue developing innovative, data-driven solutions for the industry. If your business is preparing for these changes and needs a clear strategy for success, don’t hesitate to reach out today, we’re here to help!
