Our promise

Compliance-ready in 2–4 weeks, without changing your existing systems.

Who this is for

Apparel brands, footwear makers, home-textile manufacturers, technical-textile producers, and their EU importers.

How TracePass helpsTextiles

Concrete things TracePass does for this category — not a list of what the regulation requires.

AI agent reads your brand's product pages, your tech packs, and your suppliers' material certificates — fills composition, certifications, country of manufacture automatically.

Reference-database lookups for canonical fabrics (Lenzing TENCEL Lyocell, Polartec 200, Cordura 1000D, OrganicLeather) prefill dozens of fields in seconds without you having to type them.

Structured fibre-composition editor keeps percentage-and-part data clean (e.g. "upper body 95% cotton organic 5% elastane / lining 100% recycled polyester") instead of free-text JSON.

Worn Wear / repair-programme URLs are discovered and attached automatically — reviewers just approve.

OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, bluesign, GOTS, Fair Trade, GRS / RCS / RWS certifications pre-validated as enums so your answers match regulator vocabularies and don't fail mapping at audit.

Multilingual public passport — 24 EU languages, care symbols rendered from the structured care-instructions field, so the label print never falls behind language coverage.

Supplier portal for fields only the mill or dyer knows (dye method, water usage litres/kg, microplastics-mitigation, scope-1 emissions of the wet-processing site) — they fill via a token-linked form, no TracePass account needed.

As a brand or importer, upload one tech pack and we create the DPP you're legally responsible for — even if the contract manufacturer abroad hasn't produced one. Every field has source + confidence + audit trail, so your QA can review before publishing.

NFC-ready — link an NFC tag in the care label so scans resolve even after the printed QR fades from repeated washing.

What's in the Textiles template

61 fieldsThe fields aren't abstract — here are the groups you'll actually work with:

  • Fibre composition (structured: fibre type + % + garment part, supports multi-component pieces like a lined jacket with separate shell / lining / insulation fibres)
  • Country of manufacture + per-stage origins (fibre spinning, fabric weaving / knitting, wet processing, cut-make-trim assembly)
  • Recycled-content % per fibre with verification scheme (GRS / RCS / SCS / brand-internal)
  • Chemistry: REACH SVHC declaration, ZDHC MRSL conformance level, restricted-substance limits per market
  • Care + repair + take-back + recyclability — including spare-part availability, recycling stream classification (mechanical, chemical, downcycling)
  • Certifications (OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, bluesign, GOTS, Fair Trade, GRS, RCS, RWS) as enum-validated fields with certificate number + expiry date
  • Microplastics-release assessment (qualitative bands + quantitative shedding tests where measured)

Questions buyers in this category ask

We have 10,000 SKUs — is this practical at our scale?

Yes. Product lines share most fields; variant SKUs inherit from the line and override size / colour. Batch creation plus the REST API means your PIM can push new SKUs at the same speed you release them.

Our care labels are already multilingual. Does the DPP duplicate that work?

No. The DPP stores care data once as structured codes. We render each of the 24 EU languages for you. Your label can link directly to the passport QR instead of printing care text in 10 languages.

How do we get fibre-composition data from our dyeing mill?

Supplier portal: we email a token-linked form; the mill fills fibre + dye-process fields without needing a TracePass account. You approve their inputs in the normal review flow.

We import garments made by contract manufacturers in Bangladesh / Vietnam / Türkiye — they have no DPP. Are we covered?

Yes. Under ESPR the importer placing the textile on the EU market is the responsible economic operator, so the DPP obligation lands on you regardless of whether the contract manufacturer produces one. Upload the tech pack plus any supplier-supplied data (test reports, certifications, fibre composition) and we draft the full passport. The AI agent flags missing fields and emails the supplier a token-linked form for the gaps; you approve before publish. Same workflow whether you're a brand, distributor, or pure importer — the passport carries your legal-entity details, not the OEM's.

Do you support EPCIS for multi-tier supply-chain traceability?

Yes — full GS1 EPCIS 2.0 (export, capture and query) included on every paid plan. Any passport's supply-chain, service, and ownership events serialise as a standards-valid EPCIS 2.0 document, advertised on the GS1 Digital Link QR so an EPCIS-aware system discovers the event history automatically. For multi-tier chains, the Capture interface lets your suppliers and ERP systems push events in, and our AI agent drafts events from datasheets for your review. Volume meter scales by tier (Basic 1k events/mo up to Pro 10M, unlimited on Enterprise). EPCIS is the recommended traceability vehicle for ESPR Article 5(5)(o).
