This document discusses challenges with current traceability systems and outlines a role playing exercise to demonstrate the value of digital product passports (DPPs). It summarizes key insights from the exercise, including that not all actors are willing to share truthful data, it is difficult to verify supply chain data across companies, and misaligned incentives can exist. The document then introduces a DPP solution called Circularise that uses blockchain and adaptive disclosure techniques to maintain privacy while enhancing traceability.

- 6. Digital Product Passport - Rules & Aim of the Game Workshop Exercise: Role-Playing The Rules of the Game 1. You have information that is private and confidential and you decide how much you want to share. 2. You can only share information to either the Certification body or the actor specified in the Data Sheets and you cannot bypass any actor 3. All information passed to you by a supplier - is then deemed confidential by your organisation and you decide how much you want to disclose The Aim of the Game ● The Manufacturer has to provide the answer to the Consumer ● All are responsible for exchanging the data needed to answer the Consumer's questions ● Answers given should be certified and verified by the Certification Body
- 7. Workshop Flow Workshop Exercise: Role-Playing Steps 1. Actors each receive and read your Character Sheet, tri-fold your Name Cards so others can see who you are - 5 mins 2.

Did anyone get caught lying? ● Does this exercise reflect the reality of your industry and supply chains? ● Any other insights or learnings from your group?
- 9. Key Workshop Takeaways Discussion ● Not everyone is willing or able to share truthful or complete data ● It is hard to check data across value chains ● It is not always clear where your materials are coming from or what, when, where and who should you ask for the data or the quality of data required to answer regulatory or consumer questions ● Misaligned incentives across the value chain: e.g. ○ Individuals within the companies can have different motives ○ Companies may have different motives, ambitions or power dynamics ● Certification Bodies don’t always have all the data or correct data to be able certify products properly or quickly and it can be very costly to check the information
