Textile Digital Product Passport software

Textiles are a priority group under the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) — among the first products expected to need a digital product passport. dpp.gs gives every garment a GS1 passport with fibre composition, care, microfibre shedding and recycled content, and groups all sizes and colours under one passport via GTIN variants.

What the ESPR requires for textiles

The ESPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1781) entered into force in July 2024 and empowers the Commission to set product-specific rules. Textiles and footwear are named in the first ESPR working plan as a priority group, with a delegated act — including digital product passport requirements — expected to apply around 2027–2028.

For apparel that means publishing, in a machine-readable passport: fibre composition, country of key manufacturing steps, presence of substances of concern, recycled content, durability and repair/care information, and end-of-life guidance. dpp.gs structures all of this and exposes it as JSON-LD behind a scannable QR.

What dpp.gs gives you for textiles

Fibre composition

Structured fibre breakdown, fabric weight (GSM), dye class and finish — not a free-text label.

Microfibre shedding

A shed-rate field for synthetic textiles, ready for the metrics ESPR is converging on.

Care & durability

Care instructions, expected lifetime and repairability signposting for the consumer and repairer.

Recycled content

Recycled-fibre percentage with provenance, the headline circularity metric for textiles.

One passport, all variants

Group every size and colour under a single GTIN passport using variants — scanning a specific item highlights its exact size/colour.

GS1 QR + DataMatrix

A care-label-friendly GS1 Digital Link QR, plus DataMatrix for supply-chain scanning.

Live textile passport with variants

A Patagonia-style fleece passport: one GTIN, multiple colours and sizes as scannable variants, fibre composition and recycled content.

The variant problem, solved: a t-shirt in 5 colours × 6 sizes is 30 SKUs but one product story. dpp.gs keeps a single passport and resolves the scanned variant from its GTIN/serial — read one passport for every size and colour.

Frequently asked questions

When will textiles need a digital product passport?

Textiles are a priority group in the first ESPR working plan. The product-specific delegated act setting DPP requirements for apparel is expected to apply around 2027–2028. Building now means you are ready when it lands.

Do I need a separate passport for every size and colour?

No. dpp.gs groups all variants under one GTIN passport. The scanned item's GTIN (and optional serial) resolves to its specific size and colour, while the product story stays in a single passport.

What textile data does the passport hold?

Fibre composition, fabric weight, dye class, microfibre shedding rate, care instructions, recycled content and end-of-life guidance — all structured and machine-readable as JSON-LD.

Can I print the QR on a care label?

Yes. The passport is reachable from a standard GS1 Digital Link QR code that fits on a woven or printed care label and opens directly on any phone — no app.
