Textiles and apparel are a first-priority product group under ESPR. The delegated act is expected in Q3–Q4 2027. This is a planned act date, not a fixed DPP deadline. The final requirements will follow the adopted act and a transition period. Start collecting material and origin data from your suppliers now.
Dates marked “expected” follow the ESPR Working Plan 2025–2030 and the Commission's stated 18-month minimum transition. The delegated act sets the final date. Full field-by-field detail in our ESPR textile requirements guide.
These are the sections of the productpasses.com textile template, which mirrors the working plan and the textile preparatory study. The delegated act finalises the list; the structure is not expected to change.
Upload a garment photo or paste your Shopify, WooCommerce or any product page URL. AI drafts the name, fibre composition, care and end-of-life fields. You review, correct, activate.
The textile template lays out identity, materials & origin, care, repair, end-of-life and certifications — the same sections the delegated act is expected to require. Every field is editable.
Each passport gets a permanent public URL and a QR code as SVG or PNG for hangtags, woven labels or stickers. Add your GTIN and the passport carries it.
No card, no trial clock. Make your first textile passport today; move to Solo (€9/mo) or Studio (€29/mo) when the catalogue grows.
To be clear: using this tool does not by itself make you compliant. Your brand stays the responsible economic operator. We supply the ESPR-aligned structure, the hosting and the QR; the fibre percentages, the mill, the certificate numbers and the judgement that they are right stay with you.
Exact fibre percentages, the mill the fabric came from, the certificate numbers — none of it is in your webshop. It is with your suppliers, and every new collection adds more. Set the passport structure up now, fill it as suppliers answer, and the future requirements are easier to review when the final rules arrive.
Textiles and apparel are a priority group in the ESPR Working Plan. The Commission's indicative timeline places the textile delegated act in Q3–Q4 2027. That is an adoption target, not a DPP compliance deadline. The final act will determine scope, fields and the application date; ESPR provides at least 18 months of transition after adoption.
Small brands should prepare, but the final textile delegated act will define the scope and precise duties. ESPR does not give every small brand a blanket exemption from future product requirements. Check the adopted act for your products before treating a future DPP duty as final.
Based on the working plan and the textile preparatory study: product identity and a unique identifier (GTIN or similar), fibre composition with weight shares, country of origin, care instructions, repair information, end-of-life and recycling guidance, substances of concern, and certifications such as GOTS or OEKO-TEX. The delegated act fixes the final list.
From 19 July 2026 the EU bans destroying unsold apparel and footwear. Micro and small enterprises are exempt; medium-sized companies get until 2030. It is a separate ESPR obligation from the DPP, but it signals how seriously textiles are being regulated.
Yes. You can collect product identity, materials, care, repair, end-of-life and certification data now. The Product Passes textile template is an editable starting point, not a guarantee of compliance with an unadopted act. You can revise the content later while keeping the public URL and QR code.
