Product identity
Name, SKU or reference, identifiers and the variants you actually sell.
Textiles & apparel
Digital Product Passports for textile businesses
If you make, brand, import or sell clothing or textile products into the EU, the useful work starts with product facts you already handle: what the item is, what each textile part is made from, who supplied it and what supports those details.
You do not need to turn your catalogue upside down. Start with one representative product, get its record into good shape, then use the same process for the rest.

Start with the record
Most of the useful work is ordinary product information.
The first pass is less about learning regulation and more about bringing the facts you already use into one place, with a source when one exists.
Manufacturer & suppliers
Who made or supplied the product, and who can answer when something is missing.
Materials & composition
Broader material information, plus the fibre percentages used for the whole product or each textile part.
Supporting evidence
Declarations, certificates or specifications kept with the facts they support.
Care & use
Customer-facing washing, drying, ironing or handling guidance you are comfortable publishing.
Repair & end of life
Practical repair, reuse, take-back, recycling or disposal guidance where you have reliable information.
Fibre composition
One garment can have more than one composition.
A shell, lining and rib can each use different fibres. Madeivo lets you keep those textile parts separate instead of forcing everything into one percentage list.
If a colour or size uses the same fibres, you do not need another composition just because it is a variant. Add variant-specific composition only when the fibres genuinely differ.
Outer shell
65% polyester · 35% cotton
Lining
100% polyester
Cuff rib
95% cotton · 5% elastane
Fibre composition and broader material information stay separate in Madeivo. That keeps a labelled composition from being confused with every other material or fitting used in the product.
Evidence stays behind the scenes
Publish the facts. Keep the source files private.
A customer does not need your supplier inbox or internal certificates. You do need a reliable way to remember what supports the information you publish.

After the sale
Care and repair information is useful whether or not every future DPP field is settled.
If you already give customers washing instructions, repair advice or recycling guidance, recording it product by product makes that information easier to keep consistent and publish later.
Care & use
Washing, drying, ironing, handling or use instructions you actually provide.
Repair
Practical repairs, replacement parts or repair services where they genuinely exist.
End of life
Reuse, take-back, recycling or disposal guidance where you have a reliable route to point customers to.
Publishing & updates
Keep the same QR when the information changes.
The useful part of a Digital Product Passport is that it can be maintained. Publish the product, keep the public link, then publish a new version when the information changes.
Earlier published versions remain in the Passport history, so an update does not erase what was previously released.
01
Prepare
Bring the product facts and supporting information together.
02
Check
Resolve the genuine gaps and review the fibre composition before publication.
03
Publish & maintain
Publish the Passport, then update it behind the same QR-linked public route when something changes.
What is confirmed — and what is not?
The final textile DPP requirements are still being developed.
The European Commission currently indicates planned adoption of the textile ESPR delegated act in Q4 2027. That future act is expected to define the product-specific requirements and when they take effect.
Madeivo does not turn candidate future fields into mandatory checklist items. It keeps the information you can organise today separate from requirements that are still being worked out.
Existing textile fibre terminology under Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 is useful for recording fibre names and composition today. It is not the final future ESPR textile DPP specification.
This is preparation guidance, not legal advice. Product-specific responsibilities remain with the relevant business.
A good place to start
Madeivo is a good fit when you need more structure, not an enterprise project.
It works well when product information is split across spreadsheets, supplier emails and folders, and you want to bring it together product by product before publishing.
