Textiles
Prepare for Digital Product Passports while improving visibility across your textile supply chain. Circularise helps brands, manufacturers and suppliers collect material evidence, trace fibres through processing and manufacturing, and share reliable product information with customers and authorised partners.
Textile data model
Textiles
Connected supplier and production evidence
Product identity and composition
Link material information to the product it describes.
Material origin and chain of custody
Maintain traceable connections between sourced materials and finished products.
Chemicals, performance and claims
Keep technical evidence connected to the statements made about a product.
Market and circularity information
Organise data for reporting and decisions about a product’s next use.
Prepare for textile Digital Product Passports
Organise product identity, fibre composition and supplier evidence in maintained records that can feed future passports, customer requests and circularity programmes.
Substantiate material and environmental claims
Connect recycled-content, sourcing and environmental information to the materials, calculations and documentation behind it. Give commercial and compliance teams a consistent basis for reviewing product claims.
Preserve visibility across suppliers
Connect supplier data, material claims and supporting documents across your supply chain. Give customers and partners access to the information they need while keeping commercially sensitive data confidential.
What Circularise covers
Product information loses value when it cannot be linked to its source. Circularise connects supplier declarations, material data and certificates to the products they describe, giving teams a consistent foundation for traceability, passport preparation and substantiated claims.
Connect product identity, fibre composition and supplier evidence in records prepared for future ESPR passports. Reuse relevant composition data for Textile Labelling Regulation requirements and customer disclosures.
Connect recycled-content and environmental claims to traceable inputs, chain-of-custody records and supporting calculations to reduce greenwashing risk. Keep chemical declarations and test results linked to the relevant materials and products for REACH, POPs and applicable biocidal-treatment and product-safety requirements.
Connect product categories, weights and quantities placed on each market with records of unsold stock and its destination. Organise evidence for textile EPR reporting, destruction-ban disclosures and permitted derogations, while making composition information available to reuse and recycling partners.
Keep packaging specifications, weights and supplier evidence separate from the textile’s material record, while linking both to the finished product. Prepare information for PPWR requirements on packaging composition, minimisation, recyclability and recycled plastic content as the relevant provisions apply.
Implementation workflow
Textile data changes when a fibre blend, formulation, supplier or manufacturing site changes. Establish a continuous workflow that keeps product information connected to the evidence used by procurement, product, sustainability and compliance teams.
Request composition, chemical, sourcing and recycled-content evidence from suppliers in a consistent format. Link submissions to the relevant products, review completeness and resolve gaps before reusing the information for reporting or disclosure.
Connect material inputs, product batches and supplier evidence through an auditable chain of custody. Track quantities, transformations and allocations using the method appropriate to each material and claim, distinguishing physical composition from allocated attributes.
Share approved product information through digital passports, QR-linked views, APIs and controlled partner access. Connect disclosures to product identifiers, define who can access each data point and keep published information aligned with the underlying records.
Textile data model
Turn fragmented supplier information into product records your teams can use. Map composition, origin and supporting evidence now to substantiate claims, answer customer requests and prepare for digital passports.
Link material information to the product it describes.
Maintain traceable connections between sourced materials and finished products.
Keep technical evidence connected to the statements made about a product.
Organise data for reporting and decisions about a product’s next use.
Textile passport readiness
Preparing for textile passports creates an opportunity to improve product information today. Start with a defined collection, material stream or supplier group, then build a repeatable process across your portfolio.
Identify the apparel, household or technical textiles involved, together with your role as manufacturer, importer, distributor or producer for EPR purposes. Map requirements separately for the textile, its packaging and any electrical or battery components.
Begin with fibre composition, production locations, chemical declarations and recycled-content records. Identify who holds each document, which products it covers and where supplier information is missing.
Assign responsibility for reviewing, approving and updating product information. Define how environmental claims are assessed, how certification scope is checked and which information customers, authorities and partners can access.
Plan connections with ERP, procurement and compliance systems. Define how material substitutions, new suppliers, updated test results and changes to product claims trigger a review of the affected records.
A textile DPP connects a product to the information required under its applicable ESPR rules, such as composition and circularity data. It combines a data carrier with product identifiers, maintained records and controlled, interoperable access.
Traceability links claims to the materials, calculations and evidence behind them, helping teams reduce greenwashing risk. Claims must still meet applicable consumer-protection rules: publishing evidence in a DPP does not make misleading or prohibited wording acceptable.
For covered unsold apparel, clothing accessories and footwear, the ban applies to large enterprises from 19 July 2026 and medium-sized enterprises from 19 July 2030. Micro and small enterprises are generally exempt. Permitted derogations require evidence; recycling can also count as destruction.
No. Textile EPR concerns producers’ responsibilities for financing the collection and management of used and waste textiles; a DPP concerns product information. Connected composition, weight and market records can serve both purposes, with EPR obligations determined by the applicable national scheme.
Traceability gives teams an evidence base for assessing those questions and identifying gaps. By connecting composition, supplier documentation and assessment results, Circularise helps companies make informed sourcing and circularity decisions and demonstrate the basis for their claims. Testing and conformity assessment remain essential where required.
