Step 4: Update Your First Product Token

← Back to Step 3: Add Connections | Skip to Step 5: Send Product Tokens →

What is a product token?

A product token is the digital record of what you manufactured. It contains:

• Product details (weight, quantity, production date)

• Material sources (fabric, yarn, trims you used)

• Traceability data (linked to supplier tokens)

• Certifications (your factory compliance)

Each token represents 1 kg of product.

Think of it as a digital twin of the physical goods leaving your factory.

How to update your tokens

3. Tracer

If you used materials with physical tracer, add that information here.

Aware™ Tracer:
If your supplier's material contains Aware™ tracer, it will show automatically. Just enter the Tracer Positive Scan Date. No need to upload a test report.

• Third-party tracer:
  Select "Custom," enter tracer name, and upload the test report.

• No tracer? Skip this section.

4. Self Validation (Prove Material Origins)

Self-validation proves the origin of your sustainable materials. By collecting these data points, we validate the sustainability claim, allowing brands to make reliable statements about the final product.

Click 'Add Self Validation' to begin.

For each source, the following is required:

• Details: Weight (kg), Feedstock type, Supplier type, and Supplier name/address.

• Mandatory Uploads: Invoice, Packing List, and Proof of Delivery (POD).

• Optional: You may also upload certifications, lab tests, or other supporting documents.

Declaration: Enter your full name and check the box to confirm that all provided information is true and correct.

5. Company Compliances

This page shows your factory certifications (from your KYB profile).

• Checkboxes are ON by default = certifications will appear in the Digital Product Passport (DPP).

• Don't want to show a certification? Uncheck the box.

• Missing a certification? Add it through Settings > KYB Profile.

6. Review and Submit

Review the summary page one final time to ensure accuracy before clicking 'Submit'.

You'll see a summary of everything you entered.

Review carefully:
