A consortium of over 65 organizations is collaborating on the Trace4Value project to pilot a DPP (digital product passport) system for textiles.
This initiative precedes the EU’s plan to mandate DPPs for textiles by 2030, aiming to enhance sustainable production, facilitate the shift to a circular economy, and empower consumers to make eco-conscious choices. The project involves developing a common protocol for sharing product data across supply chains, using digital carriers to tag garments and provide transparency via QR codes. This effort, supported by partners like TrusTrace and funded by Sweden’s Vinnova, aims to prepare the textile industry for upcoming regulatory requirements and promote industry-wide compliance with circular economy principles.
