FOR TEXTILES & APPAREL

Digital Product Passport for Textiles

Textiles are among the priority categories under EU ESPR 2024. A textile-specific Digital Product Passport documents fibre composition, supply-chain origin, certifications, and end-of-life data — built for the multi-tier reality of textile manufacturing, from raw fibre to finished garment.

WHAT A TEXTILE DPP CONTAINS

Four Data Layers, One Passport

A textile Digital Product Passport is built up in layers, matching how textile supply chains actually work — from fibre origin through to the finished, labelled product.

Fibre & Material Composition

Percentage breakdown of fibres, recycled content, and material origin — the core data field EU buyers and regulators check first.

Supply-Chain Tier Data

From fabric mills to cut-and-sew units, component-level DPPs let each tier of a textile supply chain contribute verified data without exposing commercially sensitive supplier details.

Certifications & Evidence

GOTS, OEKO-TEX, and other textile certifications attached with supporting evidence, ready for buyer or regulator verification at any time.

Care, Repair & End-of-Life

Care instructions, repairability information, and recycling guidance — the fields that support the circular-economy goals behind ESPR.

When Do Textile DPP Requirements Apply?

EU ESPR 2024 (Regulation (EU) 2024/1781) has applied since July 2024. Digital Product Passport requirements roll out by product category — batteries lead from 2027, with a textiles-specific delegated act following as it is finalised, within a phased rollout running through 2030. Many EU brands and retailers are already requesting passport-ready data ahead of formal enforcement, so early preparation is a commercial advantage, not just a compliance step.
