WEBINAR INVITATION

DPP: Unlocking Transparency, Trust, Sustainability and Circular Value

The introduction of the Digital Product Passport (DPP) represents a major transformation in how products are managed throughout their lifecycle—from design and manufacturing to use, recovery, and recycling. Early preparation is essential for organisations seeking to ensure regulatory compliance, maintain EU market access, and strengthen their sustainability performance.

This webinar will present an innovative Digital Product Passport model and digital tool designed specifically for the textile and clothing industry. The session will address how DPP supports transparency, traceability, and circular value creation while enabling companies to manage structured, interoperable product data aligned with upcoming EU requirements, including the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework.

Key topics include:

  • The role of DPP in transparency, trust, and circularity
  • Product data harmonisation and interoperability across value chains
  • Blockchain-based solutions for traceability and compliance
  • Strategic implications of DPP for SMEs and innovators
