DPP for Textiles
Transparency from label to wardrobe
Digital Product Passport in the Textile Industry
The textile sector is among the first where the European Union will mandate the Digital Product Passport (DPP). The reason lies in fashion and clothing's significant environmental pressure – excessive use of raw materials and water, short product lifespans, and extremely low reuse and recycling rates.
Regulatory Framework and Requirements
Digital Product Passport for Textiles
Steps for DPP Implementation
Product creation at the factory
At the design and production stage, data on the fabrics, fibres and dyes used is entered, along with information on the origin of raw materials.
Generating a Digital Product Passport
For each batch of clothing or individual item, a unique DPP is created as a QR code or link, containing information about materials, manufacturing processes and sustainability metrics.
Supply chain integration
Garment factories, fabric suppliers and wholesalers add data on transport, storage and certifications such as OEKO-TEX or GOTS.
Access for retailers and service centres
Retailers and boutiques receive data on collections, sizes and product characteristics. Service centres have access to repair, alteration and recycling guidelines.
Access for end consumers
Via a QR code, customers can view details about the garment's composition, washing and care instructions, as well as information on its sustainable production.
Post-use tracking
When returned or collected for recycling, the passport is updated to record reuse, material transformation, or integration into a new production cycle.
