Why textiles need their own DPP work
Textiles are among the prioritised ESPR product groups. Material composition, circularity, origin, unsold goods and supply-chain data are also more prominent than in many technical product categories.
The consulting work therefore connects product data with the actual textile assortment: SKU variants, materials, care information, suppliers, certificates and evidence.
What the textile DPP project prepares
Nulara works with product, procurement, sustainability and quality teams on a data structure that can absorb later DPP fields without pretending that final delegated acts already exist.
- Assortment: Separate SKU, model, colour and size logic from material and supplier data.
- Material data: Structure fibre shares, components, care information, origin and recycling or repair information.
- Evidence: Version certificates, supplier declarations, test reports and sustainability evidence.
- ESPR roadmap: Translate the working plan, destruction ban and upcoming delegated acts into a reliable preparation plan.
Consulting outcome
- Textile DPP data model for SKU, material, supplier and evidence
- Prioritised data gaps by product line or assortment
- Supplier and certificate requirements for the next data cycle
- Roadmap for pilot products and later DPP publication

Textile DPP consulting FAQ
- Are final textile DPP fields already available?
- Not yet as a complete delegated act. The consulting work prepares stable data classes and avoids false precision.
- Is this only relevant for fashion companies?
- No. Workwear, technical textiles, home textiles and textile components can also need DPP-relevant material and supplier data.
- Which data is usually the bottleneck?
- Material composition, supplier evidence, certificates, origin information and variant-safe SKU structures are often the first bottlenecks.
