FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why is GS1 Digital Link mandatory for European Digital Product Passports (DPP)?

Traditional QR codes point to a single static web URL, creating fragmented data silos. GS1 Digital Link standardizes the web address structure so that the exact same printed code on a product can be scanned by a checkout scanner at retail, parsed by EU customs inspectors for ESPR compliance, and accessed by consumers for recycling instructions.

How does Midiacode help Brazilian exporters comply with EU ESPR and Selo Verde rules?

Midiacode’s PaaS unifies Brazilian national regulations (PNEC/ENEC/Selo Verde Dec. 12.063/2024) with European ESPR (EU 2024/1781) requirements. Our platform ingests your material composition, carbon footprint, and batch serialization data directly from your ERP to ensure instant compliance without slowing down production lines.

Can Midiacode’s DPP solution generate revenue after the initial sale?

Yes. Midiacode turns the physical product into an active digital media channel. By capturing “Ownership Intelligence” through post-purchase registrations, brands can offer automated maintenance, cross-selling recommendations, loyalty rewards (Midiacode Pay & Points), and secure resale authentication for the second-hand economy, driving an average +8% post-sale revenue lift.
