FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most.

Everything you need to know about Digital Product Passports for fashion — and how Compliance Cart helps you get audit-ready.

01What is a Digital Product Passport (DPP)?

A DPP is a secure, QR/NFC-linked digital record attached to a product that captures its raw material origin, manufacturing history, compliance certifications, and end-of-life circularity options — accessible by scanning a tag sewn into the garment.

02Is the Digital Product Passport mandatory in the EU?

Yes. Under the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), textiles are among the priority product groups required to carry a live DPP, with the first mandatory scopes beginning in 2026 and phased expansion through 2030.

03How deep into the supply chain does a DPP need to trace?

A compliant DPP typically needs lineage from raw material and farming through fiber processing, yarn spinning, fabric weaving, and final garment assembly — often 3 to 5 supply chain tiers.

04What happens if a brand doesn't comply with DPP mandates?

Non-compliant products risk being blocked at customs, delisted from EU marketplaces, or subject to fines under national enforcement of the ESPR and related anti-waste laws such as France's AGEC law.

05Does Compliance Cart replace our existing ERP or PLM system?

No. Compliance Cart connects directly into your active ERP, PLM, or tech-pack files rather than requiring a database overhaul, so existing systems stay in place while DPP data is layered on top.

06How do consumers access a product's passport?

Consumers scan a serialized QR label or tap an NFC tag sewn into the garment, which opens a live, verified product page showing origin, materials, certifications, and circular options like repair, resell, or recycle.

07What certifications can be linked to a DPP?

Common certifications include GRS, OEKO-TEX®, bluesign®, and GOTS, along with facility-level audits such as SMETA or SA8000 — all linked as per-lot evidence within the passport.

08How long does it take to onboard a vendor network onto Compliance Cart?

Vendor onboarding uses standardized portals so Tier 1 to Tier 3+ suppliers can securely upload records themselves, which significantly shortens the manual back-and-forth typically needed to build out full chain-of-custody documentation.
