Digital Product Passports for textile exporters shipping to the EU.
The European Commission's Joint Research Centre has already published its Digital Product Passport content specification for textile apparel under ESPR. A textile passport built to that spec is already configured and running on Traceable's platform.
The EU has already published what a textile passport needs to contain.
This isn't a distant proposal. The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) named textiles a first-wave priority category, and the European Commission's Joint Research Centre has been running a structured preparatory study on exactly what a textile DPP must contain — with a full content specification already published.
ESPR (EU) 2024/1781 enters into force; textiles named a first-wave priority sector.
First ESPR & Energy Labelling Working Plan adopted; textile preparatory work begins.

An actual passport, not a page built for this email.
WeaveWear Organic Hoodie Pro is a real specimen Digital Product Passport running on Traceable — full material and compliance data, a working QR code, and the same GDPR disclosures a live product would carry. It's marked "specimen" for the same reason we're telling you it's a specimen: honesty about what's real.
Four steps to a published passport.
Declare
Upload or connect existing product, material and mill data — spreadsheet, ERP, or manual entry.
Verify
Composition, certification and origin data get structured against the applicable EU data model.
Publish
A public passport page and QR code go live for each product or batch, ready to print onto labels.
Scan
Buyers, customs and auditors scan the code and see verified data — no PDF chains, no email threads.
Priced for the exporters actually shipping the goods.

"The JRC didn't just name textiles as a priority — they published the actual data spec in May 2026. We built our textile passport to that spec directly, not to a guess at what it might eventually say."
Straight answers, including the ones without a firm date yet.
The same information above, without the marketing framing — for anyone who wants to check the facts before a call.
What is a Digital Product Passport (DPP)?
A structured, scannable record attached to a product — usually via a QR code or GS1 Digital Link — carrying material composition, origin, compliance, and supply-chain data. The EU is phasing DPPs in by product category under ESPR, starting with batteries.
Does the EU textile DPP requirement apply to Indian exporters?
Yes, if the product is placed on the EU market. ESPR applies regardless of where a product is manufactured, so any Indian textile or apparel exporter shipping to EU buyers falls within scope once the textile delegated act takes effect.
When will textile passports actually become mandatory?
No exact date yet — and we won't pretend otherwise. The European Commission's JRC textile project plan published its DPP content study in May 2026, after a stakeholder consultation that closed in March 2026. The next milestone — final policy scenarios and the effective date — is still to be communicated. Track the source documents directly on the European Commission's Green Forum.
Is the WeaveWear Organic Hoodie Pro a real product for sale?
No. It's explicitly labeled a specimen passport with synthetic data, built to show how the platform's textile data model works. It is not a product placed on the EU market — see the disclaimer on the passport page itself.
Where is the data hosted, and is it GDPR compliant?
Exclusively in the EU, in Dublin, Ireland, under GDPR. More on how Traceable handles data on the Trust & Security page and in the Privacy Policy.
What does it cost?
Pricing is built around Indian exporter margins rather than EU SaaS budgets — exact numbers depend on product count and category. See current tiers on the pricing page, or get a number specific to your product line on a call.
