Fashion for Good’s Post

For consumers, the Digital Product Passport (DPP) serves as a valuable tool for making informed choices, facilitating more effective repair, resale, and recycling of products. By offering detailed information, DPPs help verify product authenticity, reducing the risk of counterfeit goods. For brands, DPPs provide an opportunity to build trust and credibility by demonstrating transparency and a commitment to sustainability. 🪪

Digital product passports have been a key focus for some time now, and significant developments are anticipated this spring as legislation moves closer to approval. Recently, the EPRS European Parliamentary Research Service released a comprehensive report on digital product passports for the textile sector, outlining key information and proposed timelines. The proposal suggests a phased approach, with the initial phase focusing on introducing a "minimal and simplified DPP" for textiles by 2027. This phase emphasizes mandatory information dissemination, supplemented with additional data for lifecycle assessment. In the medium term, an "advanced DPP" for textiles is planned for introduction by 2030, gradually expanding to other stakeholders and gathering more comprehensive lifecycle data based on insights from the initial phase. Lastly, by 2033, the aim is to implement a "full circular DPP" for textiles, promoting circularity within the sector. RISE can assist your company in meeting the upcoming legal requirements and transition into circular and sustainable materials.

The EU wants to make DPPs (digital product passports) mandatory for textiles by 2030. This goal is preceded by the Trace4Value initiative, which aims to improve sustainable production, facilitate the transition to a circular economy and empower consumers to make environmentally conscious choices. These efforts are intended to prepare the textile industry for upcoming regulatory requirements and promote compliance with circular economy principles. #dpp #digitalproductpassport #securityseal #securitylabel #brandprotection #productprotection #smartlabel #sustainability

What is a Digital Product Passport? Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are innovative tools aimed at promoting sustainable consumption and production. They offer detailed information about a product's entire lifecycle, including manufacturing processes, materials used, environmental impact, and recycling guidelines. Here is key points: What is a Digital Product Passport? 🌏 A DPP acts as a digital identity for a product, encompassing vital information from its inception to its end-of-life care. 🌏Technologies such as QR codes facilitate access to this data upon scanning. 🌏DPPs have found application in sectors like electronics and fashion. Current Legislation: - Loi AGEC Decree 2022-748 (France): Requires the disclosure of environmental information for certain products in the French market to consumers, accessible electronically at the point of sale via a digital product sheet or DPP. - EU Regulation (2026-2030): DPPs are expected to be implemented by the EU starting in 2024, with a mandate spanning 2026 to 2030, affecting all 27 EU member states across various product categories. Industry Adoption: 🌏Companies, including high-end brands, are beginning to assign digital passports to their products in response to new EU regulations that encourage sustainability and circular economy practices. 🌏Industrial and electric vehicle batteries are slated to be the first products required to have DPPs by 2027. In conclusion, DPPs are pivotal in fostering sustainable consumption and enabling consumers to make informed decisions. With evolving regulations, an increasing number of products will incorporate this system, aiding in the pursuit of a more sustainable future. TULIP SUSTAINABILITY CENTER İKLİMKARBON #DPP #ESPR

EU to mandate digital product passports as early as 2027… The EU has put steps in place to encourage a circular economy by bringing forward regulations that support sustainable practices. The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) – part of the Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) – is an initiative aimed at changing the design requirements of products to ensure their sustainability and circularity. This will also see the mandated implementation of Digital Product Passports (DPPs). A DPP is a digital record which holds data about a product’s life cycle and credentials. The EU’s aim is to encourage more businesses to track the authenticity, traceability, and sustainability of their products, and unlock more sustainable processes. The mandate – set to take effect as early as 2027 for batteries, with other industries to follow a few years later – will impact a wide range of industries and products placed on the EU market, regardless of where they were manufactured. The electronics and ICT industry is a priority industry and will be one of the first that the mandate will apply to. Sustainable products in the EU will need to last longer, use energy and resources more efficiently, be easier to repair and recycle, contain fewer substances of concern and include more recycled parts. DPPs act as a digital twin of a physical product, securely recording data throughout the course of a product’s lifecycle. End-users scan a QR code or barcode on a product and gain access to the DPP which has information about the #manufacturing process, warranty information, journey to the end-user, or how to responsibly dispose of the product. It also includes product provenance identification (product ID), raw materials used in manufacturing, the carbon footprint associated with the product, and repair history. Electronic equipment waste is one of the fastest growing solid waste streams in the world. Around 50 million metric tons of e-waste is generated globally every year, averaging 7 kg of e-waste per capita… Daily #electronics from Asia insights – follow me, Keesjan, and never miss a post by ringing my 🔔. #technology #innovation

Digital Product Passports are coming 📱 Here’s how they will help brands be more transparent and sustainable. 5 things to know about Digital Product Passports (DPP) and how they will impact your brand: 1. EU Regulation Compliance With the EU’s new Circular Economy Action Plan, DPPs are required for traceability. Non-compliance could mean that brands are fined or lose their sales access to the EU market. 2. Transparency in the Supply Chain DPPs give full visibility of a product's journey, from the raw materials to manufacturing. Consumers have full supply chain transparency to. 3. Transition to Circular Economy DPPs make it easier to resell, recycle, and reuse products, moving brands toward a circular model. Hopefully, we’ll reduce the 92 million tons of textile waste generated each year. 4. Consumer Engagement When brands share data on a product’s sustainability, consumers can make educated choices when shopping. Brands can also build closer relationships with their customers directly. 5. Efficient Operations DPPs help streamline brands operations and reduce costs by tracking materials, increasing ops efficiencies, and making sure brands are ready for the new regulations.

Is your product recyclable, repairable and upgradable? If not, it is time to do something about it! On May 27, the European Council gave its final approval of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of products, from production to disposal. The ESPR, an upgrade of the Ecodesign Directive, applies to virtually all products, uniformly across all EU countries. It includes a requirement for digital product passports on products sold in the EU, and a ban on destruction of unsold consumer goods. RISE is actively working with the ESPR, and especially with the digital product passports. We stand ready to assist your company in navigating these legal requirements and making a shift towards circular and sustainable materials.

I am not convinced by all of the EU's directives on sustainability. Personally, I feel there is too much emphasis on carbon and less on holistic sustainability. As anyone in business knows - metrics can be incredibly harmful if you focus on the wrong things. Having seen the EU's recent moves that are strangely biased towards synthetic as opposed to natural fibres, I think there is a common sense factor that needs to be applied quickly. Either way, the EU Digital Product Passports will transform our approach to sustainability. The introduction of Digital Product Passports marks a transformative step in the retail sector, particularly for those of us committed to sustainability and ethical practices. These passports offer a multitude of opportunities to enhance transparency and build consumer trust by providing detailed information on Manufacturing processes, Product origins and Materials. Such transparency not only bolsters consumer confidence but also combats the proliferation of counterfeit goods through digital verification. From a sustainability perspective, DPPs facilitate comprehensive reporting on environmental impact, aligning with growing regulatory pressures and consumer demands. Proactively adopting this technology ensures compliance with future regulations and demonstrates a firm commitment to sustainable practices. Enhanced traceability within the supply chain also improves operational efficiency, enabling better inventory management and reducing waste, while holding suppliers accountable to ethical and quality standards. Understandably, DPPs will present challenges such as: – Significant investment in technology and infrastructure – Extensive training for staff – Managing and securing the vast amounts of data involved – Ensuring industry-wide standards and interoperability are critical considerations. Yet leveraging DPPs is likely to position your brand as a leader in transparency, sustainability, and ethical practices. It is the way things are moving. - probably time to get on the bus. #sustainablity #eu #productpassports

"One of the significant challenges for organisations to comply with legislations and to commit themselves to European green and circular initiatives, is the lack of detailed information about where they currently stand. For instance, without detailed insights into product composition and lifecycle, it is difficult to make sustainable decisions or comply with the goals that Europe aims to achieve. #Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are uniquely positioned to fill in this gap. Actually, the implementation of digital product passports is one of the key actions that the Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) prescribes". https://lnkd.in/daESaN2J #data #DataEconomy
