Digital Product Passport

 A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital identity for a physical product. Accessed through a QR code or digital link, it brings together key information across the product’s lifecycle, from materials and origin to sustainability data, certifications and end-of-life guidance. For fashion and textiles, it gives brands a single, verifiable record they can share with customers and regulators. 

 A DPP typically holds the product’s materials and composition, origin and supply chain details, sustainability and environmental impact data, certifications and test results, and care, repair and end-of-life guidance. The exact data set follows the requirements set out under the EU’s ESPR for each product group. 

 Textiles and apparel are named a first-wave priority under the EU’s ESPR 2025 to 2030 Working Plan. The delegated act setting the detailed textile requirements is expected around 2027, and because rules cannot apply until roughly 18 months after adoption, mandatory compliance is realistically no earlier than 2028. These dates are indicative until the act is confirmed, so preparing early is the safest approach. 

 Yes. Textiles and apparel are among the first product groups prioritised under the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, which makes fashion and textile brands an early focus for DPP readiness. 

 Yes, if they sell into the EU. The requirement applies to any product placed on the EU market, regardless of where the brand or manufacturer is based. Brands in the UK, US and elsewhere that sell into the EU will need a compliant Digital Product Passport for affected products. 

 The passport is carried by a QR code printed onto the product’s care label or packaging. With Weavabel, that QR is generated within the same care label order you already place, while Bombiix structures the data behind it. The physical label and the digital record are produced together, so the label becomes the entry point to the product’s full data. 

 A DPP needs software to structure and host the data, but on its own that is only half the solution. A complete Digital Product Passport also needs a physical data carrier, the QR code on the product, to connect the record to the item in a customer’s hands. Weavabel and Bombiix provide both the data platform and the physical product identification, as one connected solution. 

 A growing number of providers offer Digital Product Passport solutions, most focused on the software and data side. Weavabel and Bombiix combine both halves in one solution, pairing Bombiix’s DPP data platform with Weavabel’s labelling and supply chain expertise, so the data connects directly to the physical product. 

It’s a simple subscription model for the system that gives you visibility and control without complexity. Monthly per-user pricing with full access to all platform functions, including the core Digital Product Passport (DPP), which is included in the standard subscription.
