Textile Digital Product Passport for 2024
The European Commission are working to have a Digital Product Passport for textiles in 2024.
It is one of several measures that the European strategy for sustainable and circular economy wants to implement with the aim of ensuring consumers are informed on the environmental impacts of their purchases and that products are more reliable, reusable, reparable, resource-efficient, and easier to maintain, refurbish and recycle.
In the case of textiles, the Digital Product Passport could cover aspects such as:
- Working conditions under which products are manufactured, reused or recycled
- The environmental footprint of the product
- Bill of materials (BOM)
- Presence of hazardous chemicals including substances of concern used in production
- Use of recycled content
- Durability/expected lifetime
- Microplastics release
In 2022, the European Commission proposed the co-creation of transition pathways. The process of co-creation with stakeholders was kicked-off in the second quarter of 2022, and by the end of 2022, this process should result in an agreed vision for the ecosystem and specific pledges.
