Article Summaries:

  • Hashgraph Group, a Swiss tech firm built on Hedera, unveiled TrackTrace, a blockchain‑based platform aimed at helping companies meet the European Union’s new product‑compliance rules under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Product Regulation (ESPR). TrackTrace records goods data-including emissions and sustainability credentials-into tamper‑proof audit trails and uses AI to automate compliance workflows. The tool supports the EU’s Digital Product Passport (DPP) framework, which will apply to batteries from February 2027 and to textiles, steel and other priority items from July 2027. Hashgraph is partnering with PwC to roll out the solution for enterprise clients.
