Prepare for furniture and mattress passports
Connect composition, durability and relevant repair, disassembly and recovery information with supplier evidence for future ESPR passports.
Furniture & Interiors
Connect materials, sourcing and product claims
Prepare for Digital Product Passports while building reliable evidence for the requirements your business faces today. Circularise helps manufacturers, brands and importers of furniture and interior products, including mattresses, collect supplier information, trace materials and components, and share substantiated product information without exposing confidential supply-chain data.

Prepare for furniture and mattress Digital Product Passports
Connect product identity, material composition and circularity information with the supplier evidence behind them. Build maintained records that can adapt as product-specific requirements are finalised.
Substantiate sourcing and environmental claims
Link material origin, recycled content and environmental performance to supporting documentation. Give procurement, compliance and commercial teams a consistent basis for assessments, customer requests and product claims.
Connect product data across its lifecycle
Make relevant material, care, repair and disassembly information accessible to customers, refurbishment partners and recyclers. Preserve connections between each product, its components and the evidence covering them.
What Circularise covers
Reliable product information starts with connected supplier evidence
Furniture and interiors brands need to connect what suppliers declare with what they manufacture, purchase and sell. Material specifications, sourcing certificates, chemical declarations and environmental assessments often sit in separate systems, making it difficult to establish which evidence covers a particular model or configuration.
Circularise connects these records across suppliers and products, so teams can reuse approved information for passport preparation, sourcing decisions, retailer requests and circularity programmes.
Trace materials and sourcing evidence
Link wood, textiles, foams, latex, metals and recycled inputs to origin records, chemical declarations and supplier documentation for sourcing and safety assessments.
Substantiate claims and circularity
Reuse product evidence for environmental claims under the Empowering Consumers Directive, procurement requests and applicable furniture, mattress and packaging EPR requirements.
Implementation workflow
Collect the evidence. Connect the product. Keep information usable.
A change in upholstery, foam formulation, panel supplier or product configuration can affect the evidence behind a product. Establish a repeatable workflow that keeps sourcing, compliance and customer-facing information aligned as products change.
- 1
Collect supplier and product information
Request material specifications, sourcing records, chemical declarations, test reports and packaging data from the relevant suppliers. Connect each document to the products it covers, review completeness and follow up on missing evidence.
- 2
Trace materials and components
Connect supplier evidence to materials, components and product models, preserving links across configurations and production batches. Maintain chain-of-custody records for recycled or certified inputs, distinguishing mass-balance allocations from physically present recycled content.
- 3Controlled sharing
Share information for each purpose
Share approved product information through digital passports, QR-linked views and APIs, with access tailored to customers, partners and authorised reviewers. Prepare for applicable DPP requirements while keeping disclosures connected to their evidence and protecting confidential records.
Furniture data model
Connect the product, its materials and the evidence behind each claim
Bring composition, origin, testing and circularity information together around each product model. Give procurement, product and commercial teams consistent evidence for supplier assessments, customer requests and product claims.
Product identity and composition
Establish which product, configuration and materials the information covers.
- Model, configuration, batch references and responsible-operator details
- Bill of materials, component weights and relevant textile, foam, latex and filling specifications
- Links to electrical components, batteries and packaging specifications, where relevant
Sourcing and material provenance
Keep origin and chain-of-custody evidence connected to the relevant inputs.
- Suppliers, production sites, material sourcing locations and wood species, where relevant
- Relevant EUDR geolocation evidence, due-diligence references and sourcing certificates
- Recycled-feedstock origin, quantities and calculation or allocation methods
Safety and environmental evidence
Make the basis for assessments and claims available for review.
- Chemical declarations, relevant emissions and safety test results, including formaldehyde-emission results where applicable
- Recycled-content and environmental-footprint evidence, including methods and boundaries
- Certification scope, validity and supporting records for labels or procurement requirements
Use, repair and recovery
Preserve information that helps keep products and materials in use.
- Care instructions, durability evidence, warranties and relevant spare-part references
- Disassembly guidance, component replacement and relevant refurbishment records
- Material-separation information for wood, textiles, foams, latex and metals, alongside packaging data and applicable EPR reporting inputs
Furniture readiness
Start with one product range and the evidence it needs
Passport preparation can improve how product information is managed before mandatory DPP requirements apply. Start with a defined range, connect the evidence already available and build a process that can expand across your portfolio.
- 01
Confirm products, markets and responsibilities
Identify the furniture, mattress and other interior product categories, materials and markets involved, together with your role as manufacturer, importer or distributor. Distinguish the relevant product-specific requirements and assess wooden products, electrical functions, batteries and packaging separately.
- 02
Prioritise supplier evidence
Begin with material composition, sourcing records, chemical documentation and the evidence behind existing claims. Establish who holds each record, which products it covers and when it needs review.
- 03
Define access and ownership
Assign responsibility for requesting, reviewing, approving and updating information. Separate customer-facing disclosures from restricted supplier records and information needed by authorities or lifecycle partners.
- 04
Connect systems and manage changes
Plan connections with ERP, PLM, procurement and compliance systems. Define how supplier substitutions, new materials, revised certificates and product changes trigger a review of affected records.

Furniture & Interiors FAQ
Which furniture and interior products will need a passport, and when?
The ESPR Working Plan schedules adoption of furniture rules for 2028. The preparatory study considers indoor and outdoor furniture, including seating, tables, storage furniture and bed frames. Mattresses have a separate workstream, with adoption planned for 2029. These are planned adoption dates; application dates will be set in the product-specific rules.
How does traceability help with environmental claims?
Traceability gives furniture brands a stronger basis for differentiating their products and earning customer trust. Circularise connects sourcing, recycled-content and environmental evidence to specific products, helping teams substantiate claims, respond to scrutiny and keep communications consistent as suppliers or materials change.
Does EUDR apply to all furniture?
EUDR covers specified wooden furniture and parts, with obligations depending on product classification and your supply-chain role. Circularise connects wood-origin records, supplier documentation and relevant due-diligence references to the products they cover, helping teams identify evidence gaps and respond to sourcing enquiries.
How can furniture and interiors companies get value from traceability before passports become mandatory?
Start with the information already needed for sourcing decisions, retailer requests and procurement tenders. Circularise connects supplier evidence with product records so teams can reuse approved data, identify gaps and prepare for passports through the same workflow.
