be@t Initiative 8: Digital Product Passport

be@t Initiative 8: Digital Product Passport is a key element of the broader be@t project, which seeks to enhance sustainability and transparency in the textile industry. This initiative focuses on developing a Digital Product Passport (DPP) system that tracks the lifecycle of textile products from raw material sourcing to end-of-life. The DPP serves as a comprehensive digital record, providing detailed information about the materials used, manufacturing processes, and environmental impacts. By promoting transparency, the DPP enables consumers, businesses, and regulators to make informed decisions, thereby supporting circular economy practices. The initiative aligns with EU sustainability goals and aims to reduce environmental impact while fostering innovation and accountability within the industry. The DPP is expected to play a crucial role in improving supply chain traceability, enhancing product recyclability, and ensuring compliance with environmental standards across the textile sector.
