Joint Webinar: Digital Product Passport in the Textile Sector – Status, Uses Cases and Opportunities

🗓 20 October 2026, 16 – 18h CET

📍 Online

After batteries, the textile sector will be among the first industries required to introduce a Digital Product Passport (DPP). As part of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the DPP will have a significant impact on the textile industry, while also creating new opportunities for transparency, data sharing, circularity and digital innovation.

This training webinar, jointly organised by InnDIH AI CONNECT (Spain), EDIH AI5innovation (Austria) and CIRPASS-2, provides an overview of the current state of DPP implementation, recent developments in regulation and standards, and use cases from the textile sector. The webinar will also explore how AI can leverage DPP data to create additional value for companies.
