Industry Guides

Sector-specific implementation guidance for Digital Product Passports. Each guide covers the unique data fields, compliance timelines, and certification requirements for a specific industry.

Textile Compliance Software for Fashion Brands

Fashion brands selling into the EU face a rapidly expanding web of compliance requirements: REACH chemical declarations, ESPR Digital Product Passports, GPSR product safety, EUDR deforestation-free sourcing, and more. Managing these across hundreds of suppliers and thousands of SKUs with spreadsheets is no longer viable.

Textile compliance software automates supplier data collection, declaration generation, and regulatory reporting — replacing manual processes with a single platform. This guide compares the leading options and shows how to choose the right fit for your fashion brand.

Digital Product Passport for Textiles

Textiles and apparel are the first priority sector for Digital Product Passports under the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). With mandatory compliance by 2027, textile manufacturers, brands, and importers have the shortest runway of any industry to implement DPPs.

This guide covers everything textile companies need to know — from fiber composition requirements to microplastic disclosure, care labeling, and step-by-step implementation using sector-specific templates.

Digital Product Passport for Electronics

The electronics industry faces some of the strictest Digital Product Passport requirements in the EU. With WEEE, RoHS, Battery Regulation, and Right to Repair all converging, electronics manufacturers need a comprehensive DPP strategy.

This guide covers everything electronics companies need to know about DPP compliance for smartphones, laptops, appliances, and ICT equipment.

Sector-Specific DPP Templates 2026

Here's something most DPP guides don't tell you: a smartphone DPP and a dining chair DPP have almost nothing in common. One needs battery chemistry, repairability scores, and WEEE compliance data. The other needs FSC certification, wood sourcing, and disassembly instructions. If you're using a generic template for both, you're either missing required fields or drowning in irrelevant ones.

That's why sector-specific templates exist. Sustalium provides six of them, and they'll save you weeks of field configuration. Here's what each one covers and how to pick the right one.
