From Voluntary to Mandatory: The Digital Product Passport

Ympact is bringing together a select group of luxury and premium fashion brands, technical partners, and companies participating in the ESPR Working Table for a closed-door meeting. The aim is to help companies prepare for the upcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). 

The discussion will focus on practical aspects, drawing on Ympact’s experience within the UNECE Textile Stakeholder Forum for Data Interoperability, under the UNECE Team of Specialists on ESG Traceability. The DPP is no longer just about regulatory compliance: it is also about market access, business continuity, and brand protection, both in Europe and China. 

The meeting aims to present the Working Table's 2027 project for DPP deployment across the European Union and China, taking into account the latest regulatory developments in both regions and the results achieved so far. UNECE Stakeholder Forum for Textiles Data Interoperability – Working Groups:
