Digital Product Passport for Apparel

The apparel sector is heavily targeted by the EU's ESPR. A Digital Product Passport is essential to map the complex garment supply chain from yarn to finished product, proving sustainability and material composition.

Apparel's Supply Chain Challenge

Unlike simple assembled goods, apparel supply chains are deep and fragmented, making data collection uniquely difficult:

Multi-Tier Complexity: Tracing from Tier 1 (Cut & Sew) down to Tier 4 (Agriculture/Polymerization).
Fibre Blends: Documenting exact percentages of natural and synthetic mixes.
Chemical Compliance: Gathering certificates that prove adherence to REACH and ZDHC standards during wet processing.

Essential DPP Data for Apparel

Authorities and eco-conscious consumers will expect:

Certified proof of recycled content (e.g., GRS for rPET).
Verified organic claims (e.g., GOTS or standard OCS).
Clear material composition data to aid textile recycling at end-of-life.

A Path to Compliance

Map the Bill of Materials (BOM)

Digitize your physical BOMs, breaking down every component from main fabric to threads and trims using epassportify.

Consolidate Certificates

Upload and link origin and safety certificates (OEKO-TEX, GOTS) from your fabric mills and dye houses directly to the product profile.

Generate QR Labels

Publish this compiled data into consumer and B2B-facing digital passports via GS1 standard QR codes for your care labels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can epassportify calculate the LCA of my garments?

No, epassportify does not calculate Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) from scratch. We provide the infrastructure to host, structure, and display your existing LCA data, EPDs, and compliance certificates in an EU-compliant passport format.

How do we handle changing suppliers mid-season?

epassportify allows you to update your digital BOMs dynamically. If a fabric supplier changes, you can update the batch data in the platform, ensuring the QR code on that specific batch points to the correct new supplier data.

Are we required to show supplier names to consumers?

ESPR distinguishes between B2B, B2C, and Regulator access levels. epassportify lets you mask specific Tier 2/3 supplier names from the public, while remaining fully transparent to customs authorities.
