Frequently asked questions

FAQ - Digital Product Passport for the Fashion & Textile Industry

What are the specific benefits of the Digital Product Passport for fashion brands?

The DPP simplifies compliance regulations by providing legally required information on materials, origin, safety or performance in a centralized, structured, verifiable and consistent manner. At the same time, it opens up new opportunities for customer experiences across the entire product life cycle: from purchase at the point of sale, through use, service and care, to return or recycling. Transparency regarding the supply chain, materials and sustainability strengthens trust in the brand and facilitates communication with customers, retail partners and internal teams.

How time-consuming is the introduction of a DPP in the fashion industry?

Getting started with Narravero is always easy: the most important step is to simply get started. Much of the data required in the future already exists in your existing systems. Our methods ensure that your products are DPP-ready. This involves preparing data, creating templates and integrating production and communication processes. This means that digital product passports can be published for individual products or entire collections in a highly automated process, without any complicated IT projects.

What data is required in the DPP for textiles?

Among other things, material composition, origin, production steps, certificates, care instructions and sustainability information are recorded in the DPP. We support companies in preparing existing data from PIM, ERP or PLM systems and transferring it to the DPP in a structured manner.

Can the DPP also be used for resale, repair or Second Life?

Yes, the DPP creates a digital identity for each garment and accompanies it throughout the entire product life cycle. This allows pre-loved products to be recorded for resale, repair or recycling, while collecting data and feedback from customers. Companies gain valuable insights into the areas of service, marketing and product development, enabling them to sustainably increase their added value and actively support their circular strategy.

How personalized is the DPP?

The DPP can be fully customized to your brand: Colors, layout, content and functions can be designed so that each digital product pass looks like it came straight from your design department. In addition, customers can register their products and receive personalized content, tips or services - supported by suitable incentives. In this way, valuable first-party data can be collected to provide targeted support for marketing, product development and service.
