- IOTA infrastructure now powers secure tracking of recycled batteries from origin to reuse.
- Orobo and GLC Recycle lead a pilot linking battery makers and recyclers across Asia and Europe.
IOTA infrastructure has been used in a new step toward better tracking of recycled battery materials. Orobo and the IOTA Foundation have partnered with GLC Recycle in Singapore to launch the first live Digital Product Passport (DPP) in Southeast Asia.
New IOTA Digital Passport Tracks Recycled Batteries Across Borders
In a major development, Orobo and the IOTA Foundation have tapped Singapore-based GLC Recycle to launch a working digital passport that tracks recycled batteries from start to finish.
It is worth noting that this is the first time a live Digital Product Passport has been used in Southeast Asia, and it is built using IOTA infrastructure. Similarly, the launch follows a series of agreements made during a recent IOTA event in Amsterdam.
These agreements focus on building systems that help companies in Europe and Asia meet recycling rules. GLC Recycle is the first to try this out, and the results show how the technology can work in real situations.
According to the announcement, the digital passport contains useful information. It includes the source of the battery materials, their recycling process, the amount recovered, and the carbon footprint of the process. This helps companies meet new rules set by the European Union, like the EU Battery Regulation and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.
Adrian Grabl from the IOTA Foundation said the project shows how IOTA tools can support real business needs. According to him, the system helps with rules in different regions by using trusted and secure data.
In related news, as noted in our previous report, IOTA infrastructure is now being used to support secure artificial intelligence in healthcare, achieving 96% accuracy in disease detection. The system trains AI models locally using IOTA and IPFS, with updates recorded permanently, without fees or third-party involvement.
Orobo and GLC Recycle Plan Next Steps for Wider Use
Notably, with the first passport now live, Orobo and GLC Recycle want to grow the project. They plan to collaborate with various stakeholders in the battery industry, including producers, processors, and equipment manufacturers. The goal is to build a shared system that supports recycling and helps everyone involved follow the rules.
This is all done using the IOTA infrastructure, which allows different players to share information that cannot be changed or tampered with. The project is also backed by the IOTA Business Innovation Program, which helps with technical advice and tools.
By starting with batteries, the team hopes to build something that can be used more widely in the future. The focus remains on keeping the data reliable, simple to share, and ready for international use.
In another major development, CNF noted that Global trade routes using IOTA now see instant customs checks and real-time data with no delays.
