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
Record your origin and safety certificate details (OEKO-TEX, GOTS) from your fabric mills and dye houses in the product's Compliance step.
Generate QR Labels
Publish this compiled data into scannable digital passports via GS1 standard QR codes for your care labels.
