Pilot Programme
The EU DPP Registry goes live in July 2026. Textile delegated acts are expected in 2027. But the data infrastructure, supplier relationships and verification workflows needed to meet them take far longer than the runway remaining.
Why pilot now
The textile delegated act is expected in 2027. Once it lands, the implementation clock starts. The brands that begin now will have time to iterate; the rest will be building under enforcement pressure.
Most DPP data lives beyond tier one. Mapping fibres, provenance, environmental footprint and compliance evidence requires supplier trust and repeated cycles. That relationship work cannot be compressed.
DPP obligations flow to retailers, not only manufacturers. Early pilots let brands set the data standard their retail partners will expect, rather than scrambling to meet someone else's.
The companies that build verifiable DPPs now will establish the data architecture, audit trails and governance that later entrants will be forced to adopt.
What the pilot includes
The pilot is built on the UN/CEFACT UN Transparency Protocol (UNTP) framework, using a field register that spans the full range of DPP data domains — from product identity and material provenance to circularity, compliance and environmental footprint.
Digital Conformity Credentials form the trust layer: every claim is linked to verifiable evidence, not just a declaration. The output is a gap analysis mapped to ESPR Wave 1 and Wave 2 scope, so you know exactly where your data, systems and supplier relationships stand today — and what still needs to be built.
This is a structured methodology, not a template. It is designed to produce a DPP you can actually defend, and a roadmap you can implement before the compliance window closes.
Built around the UN Transparency Protocol, W3C Verifiable Credentials and Digital Conformity Credentials.
Covering product identity, material composition, provenance, footprint, circularity, compliance and more.
Prioritised against ESPR scope so you know what to build first and what can follow.
A working DPP based on your actual products, not a hypothetical demonstration.
Who it's for
The pilot is open to brands and manufacturers in ESPR Wave 1 and Wave 2 product categories. You do not need to be in fashion to participate — the methodology is relevant to any business that will need to issue, verify or receive Digital Product Passports under the EU regulation.
We are looking for a small number of partners who are prepared to invest the time to build something real: a sample DPP against live SKUs, with real supplier data, and a clear picture of what remains to be done.
Fashion, textiles and apparel brands in ESPR scope
Manufacturers producing goods for the EU market
Retailers preparing supplier DPP requirements
Businesses with multi-tier supply chains and complex product portfolios
Pilot structure
We define the product category, sample SKU set, supplier landscape and the data sources already available to you.
We assess your current data, systems and supplier relationships against the DPP field register and ESPR Wave 1 / Wave 2 requirements.
We construct a DPP for the selected SKUs, linked to verifiable evidence through Digital Conformity Credentials.
You receive a clear view of what is ready, what needs to be built, and the roadmap to get there before deadlines take effect.
Pricing is scoped to each pilot. There is no fixed price, because the starting point varies by product category, supplier maturity and data availability. Contact us and we will set out a clear scope and commercial proposal.
Places are limited. If you are a brand or manufacturer preparing for ESPR and DPP, tell us about your products and your timeline.
