This webinar will explore the latest developments in the Digital Product Passport and what they mean for the fashion and textile sector, with a particular focus on SMEs.
AKT-Origins is a Rotterdam-based company developing a Digital Product Passport platform.
ORIGINS is geared to the needs of SMEs and enables companies to provide the information required on what the product is made of, where it came from, how to keep it in use, and what should happen to it at end of life without publishing sensitive information.
The European Commission has launched the Digital Product Passport Registry together with a testing environment. The Registry will support products covered by the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and other EU legislation requiring Digital Product Passport registration.
All DPPs must be registered: the new DPP website provides information about the process!
OrigoVero™ is a Digital Product Passport platform built for the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and adjacent sector rules, including the EU Battery Regulation, the wine e-label and future textile, toy, packaging and construction requirements.
Digital Product Passports are being rolled out and are key to keeping products and materials in circulation. However, they require interoperable, machine-readable data.
Verisav provides open RDF/OWL vocabularies for Digital Product Passports, as well as for returns and after-sales service and machine-readable warranties.
Digital Product Passports are designed to provide reliable product data supporting sustainability, circularity, value retention for re-use, remanufacturing and recycling.

DPPSkop is a comprehensive B2B SaaS platform developed to meet the Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements mandated under the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.
The platform enables manufacturers, particularly in high-impact sectors such as textiles, batteries and electronics, to digitise, manage and share the lifecycle data of their products.
The textiles sector needs to become more circular, and traceability of components across the supply chain, transparency of information, and reliable data for circular business models are the cornerstones of this process.
The Delegated Act for Textiles under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation is being prepared and will shape the Digital Product Passport in the textiles sector. The DPP must allow for the needs and capacities of actors throughout the supply chain in order to unlock circular business models and achieve the EU's environmental and social goals in the textile industry.
This policy brief gives an overview of the most pressing practical challenges facing these actors and provides actionable policy recommendations.
