In this episode, Kevin Dixie, Founder of Buyerdock, unpacks how Digital Product Passports (DPPs), sustainability, and new compliance rules are reshaping global e-commerce.

- Counterfeits, resale platforms (Vinted/Depop), and taking back brand control with verifiable product data
- Compliance momentum across EU → UK → US/Australia and what timelines mean for sellers
- Turning compliance into growth: reviews, warranties, first-party data capture, and multi-language manuals via QR
