The Future of Fashion Transparency: Digital Product Passport (DPP) The European Union’s Digital Product Passport (DPP) is set to revolutionise the fashion and textile industry by 2030. This transformative initiative will require all textile products sold within the EU to include a DPP, offering comprehensive information about materials, origin, and environmental impact. Currently, the DPP is in the process of being established as part of the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which came into effect on July 18, 2024. The European Commission is actively seeking feedback to define the requirements for DPP service providers, marking significant progress toward its implementation. The DPP aims to enhance transparency and traceability across supply chains, fostering sustainable practices and empowering consumers to make informed decisions. It will also play a critical role in enabling recycling, reuse, and responsible consumption by providing detailed insights into a product’s lifecycle. For fashion and textile professionals, this presents both challenges and opportunities. Implementing the DPP will require investment in data systems and collaboration with suppliers to ensure accuracy. However, this also provides a unique chance to showcase commitment to sustainability, strengthening brand reputation and consumer trust. I see the DPP as a pivotal step toward transforming the industry into one that values accountability and innovation. I encourage stakeholders to actively prepare for these changes—together, we can build a more sustainable, transparent, and future-proof fashion industry. #Ecodesign #SustainableProducts #DigitalProductPassport #ESPR #SustainabilityInFashion #Transparency #Traceability #CircularEconomy #FashionInnovation #TextileSustainability #SupplyChainTransformation #SustainablePractices #ResponsibleConsumption #ConsumerEmpowerment #LifecycleAnalysis #SustainableDevelopment #GreenInnovation #FutureOfFashion #SustainableTextiles

🌍 Excited to see Sustainable Views highlighting the EU's Ecodesign regulation and its potential to reshape the fashion industry. I had the opportunity to share my thoughts on how this regulation could challenge fast fashion’s unsustainable model—one built on overproduction and synthetic fibers—if the criteria are set right. I also discussed the risks involved and whether the industry is it truly prepared for this shift. Thanks to Florence Jones for shedding light on this important topic.
