Upstream
Textiles, manufacturing, supply chain — you're creating the product record: materials, certifications, factory. Link via APIs to increase upload efficiency.
Choose the stage that matches where you sit within the value chain. Each path only asks for the data relevant to that role — skip straight in, no need to read the others. Bulk scan RFIDs to enter identical data each with unique identifiers.
Textiles, manufacturing, supply chain — you're creating the product record: materials, certifications, factory. Link via APIs to increase upload efficiency.
Scan a single item to authenticate and access its traceable upstream data, or bulk scan and download the CSV.
Individual or bulk scan RFIDs to add data showing EPR (resell, rent, repair, redesign, reuse).
Bulk scan only — identify material and chemical type, and isolate items flagged with a chemical presence before EPR or End-of-Life Recycling.
Scan to register the end-of-life / recycling stage and close out the RFID DPP record.
Consumer return back to a brand or reseller — password-protected, owner-linked. Contact GCN to link Supply Chain Management software via APIs.
Moving an item between locations — simple pickup and delivery log to collect LCA data. Not yet active.
POPULATE B2B DPPs. Enter tag and product-only data to physical items. QR marks fields shown on the B2C consumer Product ID eg. swing tag, QR Code.
(Facility Standards) — The textile mill that produced the fabric — supplied by the mill itself, sent onward with the materials to the product manufacturer.
Certifications for each fibre/material in the composition above, and for dyes/finishing — link an existing credential or add a new one. Reusing a credential avoids storing duplicate copies of the same certificate.
Buttons, zippers, drawstrings, and other trims — only applies if this product uses trims sourced separately from the mill. Skip if not applicable.
The facility that assembles the finished product — adds the RFID DPP, issued by the DPP Issuer below.
Responsible Economic Operator: acts as the DPP Issuer, publishing and maintaining the DPP associated with products placed on the market eg. manufacturer, importer, authorised representative, distributor.
Generated automatically once tags are scanned and the DPP Issuer is confirmed — not something you enter yourself. Each scanned tag gets its own GTIN/EPC, barcode, and QR ID.
Voluntary evidence layer addressing upcoming sustainable products regulations and eco-modulated EPR schemes — durability, repairability, recyclability, recycled content. Declare implemented or circular design strategies in development.
Consumer-facing guidance shown on the Product ID — how to care for, repair, and eventually retire this product.
Choose what you're doing — receiving goods (In), or recording an action on goods you already hold (Out).
Receiving goods — record sender and receiver details, scan the item(s), and grade their condition.
Recording an EPR action — resell, repair, redesign, rent, or PRO — on item(s) you already hold.
Scan the item(s) you're processing — single or bulk. Once scanned, you'll choose what's being done to them.
Now choose what's being done to the scanned item(s).
Who sent or is handing over these goods to you.
Receiving party data only — your own business or operator details, receiving these goods to support Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) events.
Scan the item(s) you're receiving — single or bulk. A single scan shows full traceable data on screen — the Product ID data (including Original Price), plus any flagged Chemicals of Concern. A bulk scan accesses the same per-item data via the Download CSV button below, rather than displaying it on screen.
Condition grade for the scanned item(s) on receipt.
Details specific to the action selected — logged as the matching 'Out' event for this item.
Scan a single item or bulk scan and download the CSV. This is the only function here — to see upstream traceable data. Able to link to APIs. Use Downstream to add EPR actions data.
Bulk scan a batch to surface material and chemical type, and isolate items flagged with a chemical presence before they continue to EPR or End-of-Life Recycling.
Scan to add data registering the end-of-life / recycling stage and close the RFID DPP record for this item. GCN's long-life washable RFID tags may be reset and reused in products not requiring full washability, eg. accessories, homewares, depending on condition.
