The EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured digital record that captures a product's full lifecycle — materials, origin, processes, transformations, certifications, repairability, and sustainability data — accessible through a single QR, NFC, or RFID scan. It is the EU's mechanism for enforcing supply-chain transparency, and it becomes mandatory for textiles and apparel sold in the EU.
EU ESPR 2024 — the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 — has been in effect since July 2024. It establishes the legal framework for Digital Product Passports and sets ecodesign requirements that promote sustainable products and circular-economy practices across the EU. The rules roll out in phases: batteries from 2027, followed by textiles, electronics, and further categories through 2030.

Yes. EU ESPR 2024 is binding regulation. Products sold in the EU must meet its ecodesign and Digital Product Passport requirements as they phase in by product category through 2030.
