DPP by Evidnt’s Post

I recently had the opportunity to contribute to the attached seminal study on Digital Product Passports (DPP). Following a productive meeting at STOA, the Panel for the Future of Science and Technology yesterday, I'm proud to reflect on my contribution to a crucial draft discussion led by Jérémy Legardeur and Pantxika Ospital. This draft delves into the vital role and challenges of implementing Digital Product Passports (DPP) in the textile industry, a topic of paramount importance for the future of sustainability and transparency within this sector. Key insights from the collaborative efforts include: - An observed trend towards increased transparency and environmental commitments among brands from 2021 to 2023, with a significant drive towards enhancing brand transparency. - The ongoing challenge of achieving detailed product transparency, with a majority of brands still only offering minimal traceability information, such as the manufacturing country. - The complexity of the textile supply chain, which poses a significant barrier to traceability efforts, emphasizing the need for sophisticated DPPs capable of navigating these complexities. This draft, prepared for the STOA discussion, underscores the imperative need to bolster traceability to support ethical manufacturing practices and the journey towards sustainability in the textile industry. It critically examines the future relevance of standalone catalogue management systems, arguing their inadequacy in meeting the evolving demands for transparency and sustainability. A key takeaway from our discussion is the consensus that the future of the textile industry requires a shift away from standalone catalogue management systems towards more comprehensive traceability solutions that can integrate and aggregate downstream information effectively. This initiative opens up vital dialogue on how we can best accommodate the diverse needs of all stakeholders in the textile industry, striving towards a framework that balances transparency, sustainability, and consumer demands in a rapidly changing market landscape. I welcome your thoughts on this pivotal challenge. How do we best navigate the evolving demands for transparency and sustainability in the textile market? #DigitalProductPassport #TextileIndustry #Sustainability #Traceability #STOA

🤔 A new survey reveals that 73% of consumers want brands to provide detailed product information through Digital Product Passports (DPPs). These passports offer insights into sourcing, manufacturing, and environmental impact, transforming how we understand and engage with products, according to a Vogue Business survey 2024. How is your brand leveraging Digital Product Passports to meet consumer demands? Transparency isn't just a trend—it's the future. #DigitalProductPassports #Sustainability #Transparency #Traceability #ProductPassport Image source : GS1

Brands tend to see compliance as just a cost, but it can be transformed into real business value. There are four different ways you can leverage upcoming regulations to drive business growth. 1️⃣ The Digital Product Passports provides brands with an additional channel for engagement, allowing brands to create deeper, long lasting relationships that ultimately increase retention. 2️⃣ Traceability helps increase supply chain efficiency by revealing inefficiencies and strengthening collaboration with suppliers, so companies can better adapt to market changes and disruptions . 3️⃣ The drive for responsible operations opens new revenue streams through circular strategies like resale, rental, and repair services. 4️⃣ Finally, early adoption of regulations provides a competitive edge by ensuring future-proofing and market leadership.

A great example of how Digital Product Passport (DPP) can close the gap between the transparency demanded by consumers, investors, and other stakeholders and the current lack of information on products value chain. In 2024, the EU will implement new legislation requiring products sold in the union to have a digital product passport (DPP) starting with textiles and EV battery

I had a great conversation about #digitalpassports, #eu legislation and the domino effects in the global supply chain with Avedis Seferian last week. The changing expectations of #US civilians/consumers around #sustainability and #transparency aren't going anywhere. And the effects will be far-reaching. It's time for all #brands and #retailers in the US to get ahead of things. #apparel #policy #circularity #reverselogisitics #changemanagement

A brand is nothing but an expression of the customer’s loyalty and trust. #ima #ConsumerAlert #consumersafety #ConsumerRights #ConsumerReports #consumerresearch #onlineducation #onlineeducation #onlinemedicalclasses #online
