Digital Product Passport for textiles

From a T-shirt to a winter jacket: fibre origin, dyes, care and recyclability must appear in the DPP from 2028.

Industry challenges

The supply chain reality:

A garment passes through 4-7 production stages, often in different countries. Most brands know their supply chain only as far as the sewing factory - information on fibre, spinning, weaving and dyeing is missing.

Pragmatic approaches:

  • Material passports (OEKO-TEX, GOTS, Better Cotton) as a certified data source
  • Industry-average data for standard materials as an interim solution
  • Tier-1 data agreements with direct suppliers to pass on deeper stages

More on this: Textile industry: closing the data gaps in the supply chain.

Required data

What goes in the DPP for Textiles & Fashion?

The key data fields required by the relevant EU regulation.

Fibre composition

Percentage shares per fibre type, origin of the main component, blends.

Finishing

Dyes, finishing treatments, REACH-relevant chemicals.

Care & repair

Care symbols, spare parts, repair partners, lifespan.

Recycling

Collection classes under the EU Waste Framework Directive (separate collection for textiles), mechanical vs. chemical recyclability.

Our approach

Transpareo for Textiles & Fashion

Transpareo supports gradual data deepening - from initial required details to full tier-1 documentation:

  • Upload certificates (OEKO-TEX, GOTS, Better Cotton) and reference them in the DPP
  • Fibre data fields for material, share and origin per component
  • Source notes maintainable as data fields per property
  • Iterative updating: DPPs can be continuously supplemented with deeper supplier data
