Digital Textile Passport

Every textile. Every rule. One record.

Textiles are among the priority product groups under the EU Ecodesign Regulation, and one of the first sectors where the Digital Product Passport becomes mandatory. CORENATE structures the data behind it across your portfolio, from fibre origin and chemistry through to repair and recycling.

One record per article. Across the whole portfolio.

Textiles are one of the priority product groups under the EU Ecodesign Regulation, so the passport is coming to this sector. For a large portfolio that is not one compliance task. It is fibre composition, chemistry, origin, and production sites, per article, across thousands of them, sourced from suppliers who do not share a system with you.

Separate collection of waste textiles is already mandatory across the EU, and around 5.2 million tonnes arrive each year. Under 1% of those fibres become new textiles, because nobody knows what is in the garment. The collection infrastructure is running. The data is what is missing.

Waste textiles arising in the EU each year. Separate collection has been mandatory in every member state since 2025.

Recycling Gap

Share of textile fibres not yet recovered into new textiles. Fibre-to-fibre recycling waits on knowing what the fibre is.

Decided at Design

Share of a textile product's environmental impact already determined at the design stage. Passport data reaches designers before the first metre is cut.
ONE DATA SOURCE

Capture once, use everywhere

You capture your product data once. From then on, the same base feeds every requirement placed on it. Four examples, one foundation.

Digital Textile Passport

Material composition, fibre origin, chemistry, production sites, and care and repair information in one structured record.

Product Carbon Footprint

The footprint draws on the same material and supplier data you already maintain.

Supply chain transparency

Fibre origin, production sites, and chemical inputs traced across the chain, from the same base as everything else.

ESG reporting

Your reporting metrics draw on the same source as your compliance records.

Beyond compliance
 

Three things this data makes possible

One base, many ways of using it. Each solution below is the same platform, configured for a different job.

Design for recycling, not around it

80% of a product's environmental impact is set at the design stage.

When designers can see fibre composition, chemistry, and recyclability while they work, circularity stops being a retrofit.

Make the fibre recyclable

A recycler cannot process what it cannot identify.

Composition and chemistry data are what move a garment from downcycling into fibre-to-fibre recovery, which today applies to under 1% of fibres.

Consistent across every supplier

A portfolio spans thousands of articles, hundreds of suppliers, and a new collection every season. One structured base is what keeps composition, chemistry, and origin consistent as articles change, rather than rebuilding the evidence each cycle.
Technology and interoperability

Built on open standards

CORENATE is built on the Asset Administration Shell, the international Industry 4.0 standard for the digital twin.

Your product data is described with clear semantics and moves automatically between systems, across company boundaries. That matters where supply chains are long and fragmented.

Circular Economy

Longer first life, better second life

Circularity starts before recycling. Care instructions, repair information, and spare parts keep a garment in use. Material and chemistry data decide what happens when it finally comes back. Both live in the same record, and both support reuse, refurbishment, and high-grade textile recycling.
  • Trace fibres, suppliers, and production steps end to end
  • Support repair, reuse, and refurbishment
  • Trust from customers and partners, backed by verifiable data

Frequently asked questions about the Digital Textile Passport

The key questions, answered briefly.
When does the passport apply to textiles?

Textiles are among the priority product groups under the EU Ecodesign Regulation and among the sectors where the passport becomes mandatory.

The specifics for each product group are set through delegated acts.

What does the passport have to contain?
Material composition, fibre origin, chemicals used, production sites, carbon footprint, care and repair information, and reuse and recycling options.
Who gets to see it?
Who gets to see it? Manufacturers, retail, service partners, recyclers, authorities, and end customers, each with the information relevant to them.
What is the Asset Administration Shell?
The international Industry 4.0 standard for the digital twin. It describes product data clearly and makes it exchangeable between systems.
Do we have to replace our IT for this?
No. The passport fits into your existing ERP, MES, PLM, IoT, and cloud systems.
How do we best get started?
Get in touch and tell us about your product data and the requirements you need to cover. We will take it from there.
