Digital Product Passport for the Textile Industry
Manage your textile products with comprehensive digital passports to ensure full compliance with EU regulations and national legislation, strengthen supply chain sustainability, and increase consumer trust through end-to-end traceability. This way, enhance your competitive strength, grow your market share, and further strengthen your position in exports.
Accelerating the Sustainability Revolution in Textiles
The textile sector is positioned as one of the priority implementation areas of the European Union's Digital Product Passport (DPP) initiative under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)
As of 2027, since the textile sector is defined as a priority product group under the European Union's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), all textile products placed on the EU market will be required to have a digital product passport containing comprehensive information about their composition, origin, environmental impacts, and end-of-life options.
Digital Product Passports for textile products provide complete traceability throughout the supply chain from raw material sourcing to final product delivery. This level of transparency enables consumers to make informed purchasing decisions while supporting manufacturers in proving compliance with sustainability requirements, strengthening brand reputation, and building trust in the market.
Furthermore, through Digital Product Passport implementations, companies can increase their competitive strength, grow their market share, and achieve a stronger position in international markets by strengthening their export performance, particularly to EU countries.
