Digital Product Passport for Textiles
How textile and fashion companies implement DPP requirements for sustainable products
Textile Industry and the Digital Product Passport
The textile and fashion industry is one of the first sectors that will need a Digital Product Passport. From fiber origin to production conditions to recyclability – consumers and regulators demand full transparency. The DPP becomes the central tool for documenting this transparency and building trust.
Specific Challenges in the Textile Industry
Complex Supply Chains
From cotton field to finished garment: textile supply chains extend across multiple countries and production stages. Tracing every step is a challenge.
Fiber and Material Mix
Modern textiles often consist of fiber blends. Origin and proportion of each material must be documented for the DPP.
Certifications and Standards
GOTS, OEKO-TEX, Bluesign – the textile industry has numerous sustainability standards that must be integrated into the DPP.
Fast Fashion Dynamics
Short collection cycles mean constantly new products. DPP data must be captured quickly and efficiently for each item.
Why the DPP Is Essential for Textiles
Textiles are a priority product category under ESPR. The EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles explicitly demands Digital Product Passports for textile products. From 2027, information about material composition, production conditions, recyclability, and environmental impact must be digitally accessible. Those who start preparation now will gain a competitive advantage.
The Problem: Opaque Supply Chains, Missing Data
Most textile companies have limited visibility into their supply chains. Supplier data is incomplete, certifications are stored decentrally, and material information comes in different formats. For the DPP, this data must be collected, standardized, and made traceable. Manual effort is enormous – especially with short product cycles.
