Build your DPP readiness.
Textile apparel is a priority for Digital Product Passports under the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). The textile-specific requirements are being developed.
Organising your product records now gives your team a practical starting point: understand the information you hold, identify gaps and plan the evidence you need.

A few things
you may be wondering.
Have a question about your products or your first passport?
Speak with our teamWhat is a Digital Product Passport?
A Digital Product Passport is a digital record connected to a physical product. It brings together details such as product identity, materials, origin, care instructions and relevant documents. A QR code lets customers and partners access the information you publish.
Does GCL-BI provide DPP verification?
Yes. Our services include product-data and document verification, audits, testing and life cycle assessment (LCA) support. The scope is agreed for each project, based on your products and requirements. Publishing a passport and completing verification are separate activities.
Who is the platform designed for?
The platform is designed for businesses working with textiles, apparel and accessories, including manufacturers, brands, suppliers and trading companies. Talk to us about your product categories and business requirements.
Do I need an LCA before creating a passport?
No. A basic passport can be created without a life cycle assessment (LCA). Environmental information can be added where available, and you can discuss LCA or verification support separately with our team.
Will all my company information be public?
No. The public passport displays the product information and eligible documents selected for publication. Private onboarding records, payment information and service-request attachments are separate from the public product page.
Does a DPP automatically make my product EU compliant?
No. A DPP helps organise and share product information, but compliance depends on the rules that apply to your product and market. Textile-specific EU requirements are still being developed. We can discuss your passport and verification needs as part of your preparation.
