Toys
Prepare for Digital Product Passports while building reliable information flows across your toy supply chain. Circularise helps manufacturers, brands and importers collect supplier evidence, trace materials and components, and share product information with customers, authorities and recycling partners.
Toy data model
Toys
Connected supplier and production evidence
Product identity and responsible operators
Make it clear which toy the information covers and who is responsible for it.
Safety and conformity evidence
Keep the basis for product conformity connected to the correct design and material specifications.
Materials and chemical composition
Give teams visibility into the materials and substances used across the toy.
Provenance and recycled content
Connect material sourcing and recycled-content information to evidence that can be reviewed.
Batteries and electronic components
Connect the finished toy with the information held by battery and component suppliers.
Packaging and end-of-life information
Keep information available for packaging decisions, repair and material recovery.
PRODUCT IDENTITY AND CONFORMITY
Prepare for 2030 Toy Digital Product Passports
Organise product identification, responsible-operator details and conformity information for the Digital Product Passport required for toys placed on the EU market from 1 August 2030.
MATERIALS WITH SUPPORTING EVIDENCE
Connect safety and circularity
Link virgin and recycled materials to their origin, composition and testing records. Give product and compliance teams the evidence they need to assess material suitability and substantiate recycled-content information.
MULTI-TIER TOY TRACEABILITY
Build reliable supplier data flows
Collect information from material producers, recyclers, component suppliers and manufacturers. Keep evidence connected to the relevant toy, including its batteries, electronics and packaging.
What Circularise covers
A finished toy can combine plastics, textiles, coatings, metals, electronics and batteries sourced from different suppliers. Safety assessments, material declarations and test reports often sit in separate systems, making it difficult to establish which evidence applies to which product.
Circularise connects supplier information with material, component and finished-product records. Teams can reuse that evidence for passport preparation, regulatory documentation, retailer requests and circularity programmes while controlling access to confidential information.
Prepare the product record behind the Toy Safety Regulation’s DPP, linking identity and conformity information to supporting documentation. The toy passport connects with the common DPP infrastructure established under the ESPR.
Collect material specifications, supplier declarations and laboratory results relevant to toy safety and REACH.
Connect each document to the material or component it covers, so teams can identify missing information and follow up when suppliers or formulations change.
For battery-powered toys, connect battery identity, supplier documentation, QR-linked information and removal or replacement instructions to the product record.
For electrical and electronic toys, organise component evidence relevant to RoHS substance restrictions and information needed for WEEE treatment and recovery.
Connect packaging specifications, material weights, composition and supplier evidence to the relevant toy range. Build the information needed for PPWR requirements on packaging minimisation, recyclability and recycled plastic content as the applicable measures take effect.
For recycled materials used in toys, maintain provenance and chain-of-custody records alongside quality and chemical testing evidence.
Implementation workflow
Toy data changes when a supplier, material, component or product design changes. Establish a continuous workflow that keeps those changes connected to the evidence used by product, procurement and compliance teams.
Map information needs to product families, suppliers and internal owners. Request material specifications, declarations, test reports, battery information and packaging data in a consistent format, then review completeness and follow up on gaps.
Link materials, components and supplier evidence to the correct toy model and relevant production batches. Preserve the connection between a product, its bill of materials and the documentation covering that version.
For recycled inputs, trace the material through recycling, processing and manufacturing, using the appropriate chain-of-custody approach.
Make product information accessible through DPPs, QR codes and controlled partner access. Prepare identifiers and registration information for the applicable DPP requirements, while separating mandatory disclosures from confidential supporting records.
Keep published information aligned with approved product data and retain visibility over updates.
Toy data model
The exact information depends on the toy’s materials, components, intended use and applicable requirements. A useful data model connects mandatory passport information with the broader evidence needed for safety, sourcing and circularity. Not every supporting document belongs in the public passport.
Make it clear which toy the information covers and who is responsible for it.
Keep the basis for product conformity connected to the correct design and material specifications.
Give teams visibility into the materials and substances used across the toy.
Connect material sourcing and recycled-content information to evidence that can be reviewed.
Connect the finished toy with the information held by battery and component suppliers.
Keep information available for packaging decisions, repair and material recovery.
Toy passport readiness
Preparing for toy passports creates an opportunity to improve how product information is collected and maintained today. Start with a defined product range and build a repeatable process that can expand across your portfolio.
Identify the toy categories, materials and markets involved, together with your role as manufacturer, importer or distributor. Map additional requirements for batteries, electronics, chemicals and packaging to the relevant products.
Begin with material composition, chemical declarations, recycled-content evidence and component documentation. Identify who holds each record, which products it covers and when it needs to be reviewed.
Assign responsibility for reviewing, approving and updating product information. Establish which information must be publicly accessible and which supporting records are shared with customers, authorities or other authorised parties.
Plan connections with ERP, PLM, procurement and compliance systems. Define how supplier substitutions, design changes and updated test reports trigger a review of the affected product records.
A toy DPP is a digital record containing the product and conformity information required by the Toy Safety Regulation. A data carrier connects the physical product to that record; the passport also requires maintained information and a reliable digital infrastructure.
The DPP requirements apply from 1 August 2030 for toys placed on the EU market under Regulation (EU) 2025/2509.
The obligation comes from the Toy Safety Regulation. Its implementation connects with the wider DPP framework, including the registry established under the ESPR and the common standardisation work on identifiers, data carriers, interoperability and access rights.
The toy and its battery have separate requirements. Portable batteries typically used in toys are outside the battery passport scope. They are still covered by other Battery Regulation provisions, including battery information and QR-code requirements. Battery classification should therefore be checked before deciding which information to collect and publish.
Yes, where the evidence covers the relevant product, material and requirement. For example, a material specification can inform chemical compliance assessments, recycled-material qualification and customer requests. Circularise connects those uses to the underlying record, helping teams avoid repeated requests while preserving the context of each assessment.
Traceability connects recycled material to its origin, processing history and supporting evidence. Safety still needs to be established through the applicable assessments and testing. Circularise helps keep those results associated with the material and finished product, making them available for review.
