Regulations / Textiles
Textiles are first in line.
Textiles are a priority product group under ESPR. The delegated act is expected around 2027, and the data it needs takes longer than that to collect.
Expected data scope
Textile passports centre on what the product is made of, how long it lasts and who made it.
- Fibre composition by weight
- Country of manufacture and processing stages
- Durability and care information
- Repair, reuse and end-of-life guidance
Recycled and pre-consumer content
Recycled-content claims need substantiation at the material level, traced to a supplier declaration.
- Material-level recycled share
- Supplier declarations
- Certificate storage
The supplier bottleneck
Most brands can describe a product but cannot evidence it. Supplier data collection is the long pole.
- Tier 1 and Tier 2 mapping
- Mill and dye-house records
- Chased and tracked requests
Where to start
Start with a representative subset — one collection, one factory — and prove the pipeline end to end.
- Pilot on a live collection
- Score the gaps
- Scale the mapping, not the effort
Know where you stand before you implement.
