Voice on the digital product passport

"The Digital Product Passport transfers the logic that has made platforms great - data, service, infrastructure - to the product itself. A T-shirt becomes a point of communication, a jacket a connection to a system that understands, checks and responds. And for the first time, the relationship returns to where it began - to the product."

 
Kirsten Reinhold: "The opportunities created by the Digital Product Passport". Textilwirtschaft, February 05, 2026.
in the spotlight today

Why this matters now: the DPP is becoming a matter of market access, not sustainability PR.

Thought experiments on LinkedIn

Our showcase on LinkedIn - opinions from voices that make a difference

We don't post buzzwords here, but thought experiments: What if the DPP wasn't just mandatory, but the key to a true circular economy? What if data suddenly told stories that shook up sectors such as the furniture industry? We share theses that polarize - and discussions that move things forward. Because progress only happens where opinions clash. Your voice is still missing.

Do you remember the legendary brand eins front page?It still hits the nail on the head today:
