The DPP in the textile sector

Download our guide now to understand how the DPP will transform the fashion and textile industry: from fiber traceability to the management of hazardous chemicals, discover the strategies to ensure regulatory compliance and enable circular business models such as second-hand, rental, and recycling.

The inclusion of the textile and apparel sector among the absolute priorities of the ESPR Regulation marks a radical turning point for an industry historically characterized by linear logic and high environmental impact. The Digital Product Passport (DPP) will require fashion brands to track and make accessible the entire lifecycle of each garment through a "digital twin": from the exact composition of fibers and the percentage of recycled material, right down to the presence of chemicals of concern, durability metrics, and precise instructions for repair and end-of-life disposal. For fashion companies, governing this complex data ecosystem represents more than an impending regulatory obligation to maintain access to the European market. Rather, it is the essential technological infrastructure to combat greenwashing, protect garment authenticity against counterfeiting, and unlock new, profitable value chains linked to the second-hand market and textile-to-textile recycling.
