Reconomy & Fabacus: Digital Product Passports service as part of their textile EPR solution

Textile producers in the EU will soon be required to integrate Digital Product Passports (DPPs) into their operations under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which came into effect in 2024. These passports are set to become mandatory across certain product categories, starting with batteries in February 2027 and textiles later that year.

The ESPR is a cornerstone of the EU's strategy to promote a circular economy and enhance sustainability across the product value chain, particularly in sectors that are resource intensive and have significant potential for circularity, such as textiles.

DPPs will digitally record essential information about a product's lifecycle including material composition, weights, volumes, place of manufacture, carbon data, maintenance, ownership, care instructions and documentation. This requirement will apply to any products sold within the EU, regardless of where they are manufactured.

While detailed category-specific requirements are still being finalised, given the length and complexity of procurement processes, producers are encouraged to act now, piloting solutions to assess data readiness and bridge gaps early.

Reconomy has partnered with Fabacus to deliver a robust, data-driven solution. This ensures compliance while enabling scalability and unlocking new opportunities for producers through DPP technology.

This latest offering will form part of Reconomy’s broader end-to-end textile EPR solution launched in April 2024 to help producers understand and meet their global legislative requirements and the timescales of different EPR schemes. This comprehensive one-stop shop offering includes regulatory monitoring, consultancy, data management, environmental compliance, material returns and end of life treatment.

Green Threads DPP Launches Process for Digital Product Passport Compliance

Green Threads DPP, the Hampshire-based supplier of Digital Product Passports (DPP) to the uniform, workwear, and outdoor apparel industries, is officially launching to help brands fight greenwashing, create value chain transparency, and stay ahead of pending EU Green Deal DPP mandates.

Working directly with universities, textile suppliers, brands, governmental agencies, and manufacturing facilities around the world, Green Threads will help companies quickly and effectively navigate the DPP landscape, engage consumers, and bring in the next era of product transparency.

By 2030, all apparel sold in the EU will require some form of DPP. Scannable at all points along the value chain, DPPs will come in the form of a QR code, RFID tag, or NFC chip. Anyone from brand representatives to compliance officers to consumers will soon have access to a wide range of product information at their fingertips, including a product’s origin, carbon footprint, water consumption, materials composition, credentials, and end of life considerations.

Once a brand’s supply chain has been audited and a range of DPP have been created for the garments being produced, Green Threads will actively identify areas for sustainability improvements and make recommendations through the use of tailored Carbon Reduction Plans which are designed to help factories and suppliers set and reach decarbonization goals.

The use of a DPP comes with several benefits:

  • Comply with Green Deal regulations for the sale of footwear and apparel in the EU
  • Eliminate Greenwashing
  • Set and communicate sustainability goals to buyers
  • Showcase Ethical and Sustainability credentials
  • Provides quantifiable / actionable data with which to make future sourcing decisions
  • Market brand messaging directly to the end consumer by creating another touch point for engagement.

Beyond simple compliance with EU regulations, anyone using DPPs will be able to showcase sustainability credentials, differentiate themselves from the competition, and incorporate next-level marketing directly to consumers, all while making “greenwashing” a thing of the past.

“Between pending regulations and concerns around greenwashing, brands have a lot to gain from adopting a Green Threads DPP solution,” said Iain Kettleband, CEO of Green Threads. “By working with our clients and partners, we audit and measure the various elements throughout the entire product journey, facilitating continuous improvement and accountability. We add value by empowering consumers and businesses through easy to access data by which to make informed buying decisions. Most critically our solution goes above and beyond legislation and delivers complete environmental supply chain transparency as well as a dynamic platform through which to showcase a wealth of information related to recycling, care instructions, corporate objectives and ethical certifications”.

Unveiled at the Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen, the playbook offers a guide for fashion industry professionals grappling with the data collection and implementation of the widely anticipated Digital Product Passport, which will come into force in the European Union between 2026-2030. The book busts some common myths and misconceptions about the DPP, and offers a data protocol for brands to follow to start collecting DPP data and setting up their digital systems for DPP implementation.

The guide, which has been authored by journalist Brooke Roberts-Islam, opens with ‘The Why’ of the DPP, breaking down the complex set of incoming EU legislation, and explaining why DPP is an essential tool for achieving the EU’s legally-binding commitment to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The guide highlights the significant data gaps and how the DPP will address these by collecting and sharing circularity data.

‘The What’ section explains the three core components of the DPP: product data, unique identifiers and the required interoperable IT system (for decentralized data sharing). This section also offers a breakdown of who and what is in scope, along with the required data systems. ‘The When’ offers all brands an essential overview of the DPP timeline and requirements for textile products under the ESPR.

‘The How’ provides brands with the essential steps to successfully collect data and implement a DPP scheme. The insights in this chapter are derived from the Trace4Value project, a live DPP pilot led by TrusTrace to test an end-to-end DPP data and system infrastructure for textile products entering the EU market. The pilot cohort embedded DPP carriers with live data into selected Kappahl and Marimekko products, which launched on the market in early 2024.

TEXAID installiert intelligente Sortierstationen von circular.fashion

Digitale Produktpässe können nun in der größten Sortieranlage von TEXAID mithilfe der intelligenten Sortierstationen von circular.fashion verarbeitet werden. Die Sortierstationen nutzen RFID- und NFC-Technologie, um die Qualität und Konsistenz der manuellen Sortierung zu verbessern.

Digitale Produktpässe (DPP) wurden von der EU als einer der wichtigsten Voraussetzungen für die Kreislaufwirtschaft bei Mode und Textilien anerkannt. Das Technologieunternehmen circular.fashion ist in diesem Bereich ein Vorreiter und hat schon 2018 die circularity.ID auf den Markt gebracht. Mit den neu entwickelten Sortierstationen kann nun erstmals eine ID-basierte Alttextilsortierung implementiert werden.

Die ID-basierte Sortierung optimiert den manuellen Sortierprozess für die Wiederverwendung und das Recycling, indem sie den sortierenden Personen erweiterte Daten zur Verfügung stellt, um präzisere und zuverlässigere Entscheidungen zu treffen. TEXAID hat mit der Einführung dieser Technologie die europäische Kapazität zur Verarbeitung von DPPs erhöht.

Die Installation und Prüfung der neuen intelligenten Sortierstationen von TEXAID wurden kurz vor den Sommermonaten erfolgreich abgeschlossen. Erste Testergebnisse zeigen, dass die ID-basierte Sortierung die Sortierentscheidungen zuverlässiger und konsistenter ausfallen lassen kann. Das Team sieht außerdem das Potenzial, durch die ID-basierte Sortierung die Schulungskosten für neue MitarbeiterInnen zu senken und den Wert ihrer Sortierentscheidungen zu maximieren. Diese Fortschritte wurden im Rahmen des CIRTEX-Projekts erzielt, das durch das Förderprogramm KMU Innovativ des deutschen Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) finanziert wurde.

Marken und Einzelhändler haben die Möglichkeit, die circularity.ID als digitalen Produktpass zu übernehmen und Textilprodukte zur ID-basierten Sortierung an TEXAID zurückzusenden.
