Sioen is implementing woven unique QR codes across their entire product line in preparation for the Product Digital Passport initiative. These QR codes will provide digital access to comprehensive product information including technical data sheets, composition details, Declarations of Conformity, Users Instructions, and Care & Maintenance instructions (including repair guidance).

Some of their products, particularly Fire Fighting PPE, already feature RFID tags. Sioen aims to incorporate woven QR codes (which remain readable at end-of-life) into 100% of their clothing products by the end of 2025, integrating them during the manufacturing stage.  

The implementation process is currently underway, with the full roll-out expected between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026.
