ESPR's DPP requirements are coming for furniture too

ESPR (the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation) is not a textiles-only story. Furniture News is covering the countdown to Digital Product Passport requirements for its own sector, which signals how broadly the regulation is landing across manufacturing industries in the EU.

For fashion and textile brands, this convergence matters. Many brands sell across categories, source from multi-product factories, or sit inside larger groups that include furniture or home goods. Where DPP obligations land first in one category, the data infrastructure built to meet them can serve others.

The core point stands regardless of sector: DPPs require verified, structured product data collected at source. Brands that wait for their own category deadline to start building supplier data flows will find themselves behind. The work is in the supply chain, not in the software.
