FMCG Passports — from your existing labels and sustainability reports
No EU law requires a Digital Product Passport for cosmetic, personal-care or household FMCG products, and none is scheduled — brands that publish one do so voluntarily. TracePass's 42-field template covers ESPR sustainability data plus the CLP and label data you already hold. Food and beverages are outside ESPR scope (Art. 1(2)). TracePass reads your existing label text, sustainability reports, and PIM packaging specs and suggests the values they support, each with its source, for one passport per SKU — no duplicate data entry, and nothing publishes until you approve. Much of the required DPP data usually already exists in the business; the remaining gap is typically lifecycle carbon and supplier-sourced material declarations.
Our promise
Compliance-ready in 2–4 weeks, without changing your existing systems.
Who this is for
Producers, importers, and retailers of cosmetics, personal-care, and household-cleaning products placed on the EU market. Food and beverages are excluded from ESPR scope (Art. 1(2)).
How TracePass helps — FMCG
Concrete things TracePass does for this category — not a list of what the regulation requires.
Schema covers EU ESPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1781) sustainability fields + CLP hazard-communication fields in one passport — cosmetics, personal-care, and household products. Note: food and beverages are outside ESPR scope (Art. 1(2)).
AI suggests cosmetic ingredients (INCI names), allergens and packaging material from your label data, each with its source — no duplicate data entry against your existing label.
Carbon values your brand has already published can be suggested with their source, for you to approve.
Structured INCI ingredients list with allergen flags built-in; disambiguated by subcategory (cosmetic / personal-care / household).
Batch creation scales to retailers with thousands of SKUs per product family.
Packaging fields map to the separate Packaging template — one shared packaging record if your brand already keeps its packaging data in TracePass.
What's in the FMCG template
42 fields — The fields aren't abstract — here are the groups you'll actually work with:
- Brand + GTIN + subcategory
- Ingredients (INCI names, structured, allergen-flagged)
- Net content + formulation
- Packaging material + recyclability
- Country of origin + manufacturer
- Shelf life + storage
- Carbon footprint (lifecycle)
- Certifications (Fairtrade / organic / FSC)
Questions buyers in this category ask
What regulations does the FMCG Digital Product Passport cover?
The TracePass FMCG template covers 42 fields spanning EU ESPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1781) sustainability data and CLP hazard-communication fields — for cosmetics, personal-care, and household products. Food and beverages are excluded from ESPR scope under Art. 1(2); use the PPWR template for packaging-only compliance obligations.
Our label already lists ingredients. Do we enter them again?
No. TracePass reads the label text (PDF, product-page, or printed label via image OCR) and extracts the ingredients list into structured form. Review once, stays structured forever.
We have 5,000 SKUs in 40 countries. Multilingual labels, carbon per format. Can TracePass handle this?
Product-line + variant architecture: one product line per recipe, variants per country / pack format. Shared fields propagate; country-specific fields (certifications, disposal instructions) are overrides. Carbon per format is a per-variant field.
Half our DPP work is PPWR packaging data, not the product itself. Does TracePass cover the packaging overlap?
Yes. For FMCG the DPP and PPWR packaging requirements overlap heavily, so packaging facts like material composition, recyclability and format weights belong in the same per-SKU passport as the product label and sustainability data. Upload your packaging specs and material declarations alongside the product datasheet, and the AI extracts both into the relevant fields with a confidence score and a link back to the source document. You review and approve before anything publishes, so the packaging data you sign off on is the data that goes live.
Our compliance team won't let AI-generated label claims go public unchecked. Who is accountable for what gets published?
You are, and TracePass is built around that. The AI never publishes on its own: it extracts each FMCG field from your own documents like labels, sustainability reports and material declarations, attaches a confidence score, and shows the exact source it pulled from, so your compliance team reviews every value against the original before approving. Nothing reaches the public GS1 Digital Link QR passport until a human signs it off. This keeps the speed of AI extraction while leaving the regulated claim firmly in your hands.
