Digital Product Passports are new for almost everyone

Most manufacturers ask us the same questions.

❓ Do I need a Digital Product Passport?

❓ What is the business benefit?

❓ Is this another compliance system?

The truth is simple.

Digital Product Passports are still new. While some companies are ready to manage everything themselves, others want an experienced sustainability consultant by their side.

That's exactly why we work in two different ways.

Two ways to work with Arkive

  • Direct

    • Guided implementation (optional)
    • Self-service platform
    • Fast onboarding
    • Digital-first companies

  • Arkive via partners

    • Build a vision with a sustainability consultant
    • Sustainability- + LCA expertise
    • Dedicated consultancy

More than a reseller relationship

Digital Product Passports are not just about generating a QR code.

The real challenge is collecting, structuring and maintaining product data across the supply chain. Manufacturers need to understand what information is required, how to improve data quality, and how to turn sustainability data into better decisions.

That is why we work with partners.

Our partners combine their sustainability expertise with the Arkive platform to help manufacturers successfully implement Digital Product Passports.

They don't replace the technology.

They make the technology easier to adopt.

We choose partners, not resellers

When we started our partnership with LinWang Consultancy in Germany, one sentence immediately stood out:

"We are not a reseller. We are a partner."

This perfectly describes how we want to work.

LinWang supports companies with Life Cycle Assessments and sustainability consulting. They understand that every customer has different challenges and needs a solution that creates real value.

Arkive is part of their advisory approach.

They recommend Arkive when they believe our platform is the right solution for their customer.

Not because they have to.

Because it fits.

Why partners implement Arkive

For sustainability consultants, one of the biggest challenges is the amount of manual work required to calculate and maintain product-level sustainability data.

Arkive helps remove that complexity.

Partners can:

✅ Reduce manual LCA calculations by automating product-level CO₂ calculations from raw materials to end-of-life.

✅ Give customers access to real-time sustainability data during advisory meetings.

✅ Continuously improve product data quality as more supply chain information becomes available.

✅ Identify CO₂ hotspots and cost hotspots throughout the product lifecycle.

✅ Help manufacturers move from assumptions and spreadsheets towards data-driven sustainability decisions.

The consultant provides the expertise.

Arkive provides the technology.

Together, they deliver a stronger solution.

We believe successful partnerships are built on clear responsibilities.
