No passport, no sale.
The EU's ESPR makes a Digital Product Passport mandatory for every textile placed on the EU market. Pasera builds yours — free — from your factories' own verified data. Start collecting now, before the deadline catches you.
A passport isn't a form you fill in a day
Once the rules bite, a textile without a compliant DPP can't be placed on the EU market. And a passport isn't paperwork — it's verified data from every tier of your supply chain: materials, origin, CO₂, certificates. Collecting it from factories you don't control takes 12–18 months. So the real deadline isn't 2028 — it's now.

Digital Product Passports, in plain terms
What is a Digital Product Passport (DPP)?
A Digital Product Passport is a structured digital record attached to a physical product, usually via a QR code. For textiles it declares origin, materials, certifications, carbon footprint and recyclability, so buyers, customs and recyclers can verify a product's data.
When will the EU Digital Product Passport become mandatory for textiles?
Under the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), textile Digital Product Passports are expected to become mandatory around 2028. Exact dates are set per product category in delegated acts. Because verified supply-chain data takes 12 to 18 months to collect, brands should start well before the deadline.
What is the ESPR?
The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (EU 2024/1781) is the EU framework regulation that enables Digital Product Passport requirements for each product category, starting with textiles.
How much does DPP compliance cost with Pasera?
Full ESPR compliance is free on Pasera: unlimited products, suppliers and passports at €0/month. A Pro plan at €199/month adds tools to scale beyond compliance, and Pasera is always free for your factories.
Who needs an EU Digital Product Passport?
Any business placing textile products on the EU market will need a compliant Digital Product Passport, regardless of where the products are manufactured.
How is a Pasera passport verified?
Pasera builds each passport from your factories' own primary data, calculates a PEFCR carbon footprint, and cryptographically signs every passport so customs, retailers and auditors can verify it.
