The Digital Product Passport (DPP), under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, will fundamentally change how textiles are designed, sourced, and sold in the EU.
From 2027 onwards, brands will need to evidence and disclose material composition, environmental impact, and supply chain data at product level. This isn’t a labelling exercise- it’s a shift to data-driven compliance and full lifecycle transparency.
This factsheet sets out what the DPP means for your brand and the steps you need to take now.
