EU Digital Product Passport
Based on the EU Parliament study on Digital Product Passports for the textile sector, the deployment will happen in three milestone phases: 2027, 2030, and 2033. Each phase increases transparency, traceability, and circularity requirements.
Phase 1 — Minimal & Simplified DPP (2026-2027)
The first mandatory rollout introduces a minimal and simplified Digital Product Passport,
focusing on essential product-level transparency. This includes core product details,
composition, basic traceability, and mandatory environmental information required by
the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.
This phase sets the foundation for the larger ecosystem that will expand in 2030 and 2033.
Phase 2 — Advanced DPP (2030)
The second phase introduces a significantly expanded dataset across the entire lifecycle. More actors, more supply-chain tiers, and more granular environmental and social metrics become required. Data collected during Phase 1 is now extended across distribution, usage, repair, and end-of-life stages.

The final stage delivers a fully circular Digital Product Passport.
Products now carry complete lifecycle information, enabling automated sorting, recycling,
reuse tracking, and continuous circular design feedback loops.
All stakeholders — producers, distributors, recyclers, consumers — participate in an
interoperable European-wide DPP ecosystem.
