As the EU’s Digital Product Passport (DPP) takes shape, data gathering is becoming a key challenge for the textile and apparel sector.
With its one pager, EURATEX is calling for harmonised standards across the value chain—so companies can collect and share lifecycle data once, and reuse it everywhere.

On April 2025, EURATEX published its one pager calling for harmonised standards across the value chain.

The Ecodesign Regulation is asking for a Digital Product Passport (DPP) which will include information on a product’s environmental performance and its lifecycle. The exact level of detail is yet to be determined but it is likely that companies will need to collect data across their entire supply chains. 
EURATEX urges the European Commission and stakeholders to harmonise data collection and exchange across the textile value chains through standardisation.
As EURATEX is stating, standardisation and a reference framework are essential. This effort should begin with two core priorities:

1. What data to collect – by creating a shared semantic framework and sector-specific data models.
2. How to exchange it – by developing secure, interoperable data-sharing protocols.
This would enable companies to provide information once and reuse it across platforms and business partners.
