| eSIM-Based Digital Product Passport Portal
What is TracID?
TracID is a functional prototype demonstrating how device lifecycle data can be securely read and updated through operator approved OTA workflows.
It simulates an eSIM-linked Digital Product Passport operating within EU and GSMA constraints, enabling transparent lifecycle tracking with a focus on repairability, traceability, and environmental impact.

Only lifecycle-related data that may change over time is eligible for updates.
Core manufacturing identifiers remain immutable to preserve data integrity.
EU & GSMA Compliance Statement
This system is designed in alignment with EU and GSMA principles for eSIM security and lifecycle management.
All modifications to eSIM data are subject to operator authorization and are applied via OTA provisioning workflows.
The portal itself does not directly write to the eSIM but represents a compliant request and approval layer.
Environmental Impact
Reduction of Electronic Waste: By recording verified repair and component replacement information, devices are less likely to be discarded due to uncertainty about their condition.
When users and second-hand buyers can trust a device’s history, repair becomes a preferred option over replacement. This directly reduces the amount of electronic waste entering landfills.
Extension of Device Lifespan: Transparent repair and refurbishment records enable devices to remain in use for longer periods. Extending a device’s lifespan reduces the need for manufacturing new products. Since production is the most carbon-intensive stage, this leads to a significant reduction in environmental impact.
Improved Recycling and Resource Recovery: Storing recyclability indicators and key component information supports more accurate sorting at end-of-life. Recycling facilities can make better decisions on reuse, refurbishment, or material recovery. This increases resource efficiency and reduces the need for raw material extraction.
No Additional Hardware Required: The system leverages the device’s existing eSIM rather than introducing new tracking hardware. Avoiding additional components prevents extra material use, manufacturing emissions, and future disposal. This ensures environmental benefits without adding new environmental burdens.
Encouraging Responsible Product Design: When repairability and environmental data are traceable, manufacturers are incentivized to design more durable and repairable devices.
Over time, this transparency encourages products that align with circular economy principles.
The result is a systemic environmental benefit beyond individual user behavior.
