Upcoming
Textile DPP Requirements
Textiles are a priority ESPR product group. Product-specific DPP duties will become clear when the relevant delegated act is adopted and published.
Expected Data Requirements
| Data Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Fiber composition | Full breakdown including blended materials |
| Manufacturing | Country for all stages: spinning, weaving, dyeing, assembly |
| Substances of concern | REACH-regulated chemicals, Annex XVII |
| Durability | Colorfastness, pilling, dimensional stability test data |
| Care & repair | Washing instructions, repair service availability |
| Recyclability | Mono-material assessment, disassembly information |
| Environmental footprint | Carbon, water, pollution impact data |
| Supply chain | Tier 1-4 supplier identification and transparency |
Timeline
- Current status — Textiles are a priority ESPR product group
- Next legal step — Product-specific requirements must be adopted in a delegated act
- Binding date — Confirm only from the final act and its transition provisions
Recommended Preparation Steps
- Map supply chain — identify all manufacturing stages and suppliers
- Collect fiber data — detailed composition breakdowns per product
- Audit chemicals — check against REACH restricted substances
- Document durability — gather or commission test data
- Start with voluntary DPPs — build processes before mandates
Relation to France's AGEC Law
France already requires environmental labeling under the AGEC law. Brands selling in France may have partial data infrastructure, but ESPR DPP requirements go significantly further.
