Digital Product Passport for Textiles:
Ready Before the EU Rules Land

The EU will require a digital passport for clothing and home textiles. France already asks for most of the data, and textile EPR follows in every member state. EcoComply organises it now, hosts it behind your QR code and switches it to the EU passport once the rules are adopted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Digital product passports for textiles.

What is a digital product passport?

A digital record of a product's identity, composition, compliance and end-of-life information, opened through a QR code on the product or its label. EU law makes it mandatory product group by product group: batteries under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, and textiles and other products under the Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2024/1781.

When will textiles need a digital product passport?

Textiles are a priority product group in the Commission's 2025 ecodesign working plan. The delegated act setting the passport requirements is expected in 2027 and would apply about 18 months later. It is not adopted yet.

What must textile brands do before the EU passport?

In France, the AGEC law (Art. 13) already requires a product sheet listing the countries of weaving, dyeing and printing, and making, plus a microfibre notice when synthetic fibres exceed 50%. Every EU member state must also run a textile EPR scheme by 17 April 2028 (Directive (EU) 2025/1892).

Who hosts the passport and issues the QR code?

EcoComply hosts the passport on its own infrastructure, issues the QR code for each passport and delivers print-ready artwork for your label and packaging.

How much does the passport service cost?

It is priced per project after a readiness check. The quote depends on the number of models or products, the markets you sell in and how much data is already in your compliance file.
