Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are designed to make product information more transparent and easier to access. By scanning a QR code or clicking a link, customers can view important information about a product, including its materials, certifications, traceability and environmental information, all in one place.

As part of the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), Digital Product Passports will become an important tool in supporting greater transparency across the textile industry. This page explains what they are, how they work and the information they may contain.


What is a Digital Product
Passport?

 

A Digital Product Passport is a digital record linked to a
product, typically accessed by scanning a QR code or link.
It brings together important information about a product
throughout its life cycle, such as:

  • Product composition
  • Country of manufacture
  • Care instructions
  • Certifications
  • Environmental information
  • Traceability information
  • End-of-life guidance

Its purpose is to improve transparency, support more
informed purchasing decisions and help prepare the textile
industry for a more circular economy.

 

Why are Digital Product Passports
being introduced?


Digital Product Passports form part of the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).


The regulation aims to improve product transparency by making key sustainability and product information more accessible throughout a product’s life cycle.


The introduction of Digital Product Passports will help businesses, consumers and regulators access consistent product information while supporting more sustainable product design and circularity.
