Top Digital Product Passport Providers for Fashion in 2026 (Updated Guide)

If you’re comparing Digital Product Passport providers, you’ll notice the same promises everywhere: traceability, transparency, QR codes, consumer experiences.

But in 2026, the real difference is practical: who can help you turn unstructured product information into structured, compliant data, without adding more manual work.

That’s where DPP is heading across the EU. And it’s why choosing the right DPP provider in 2026 is a strategic decision: it determines how quickly you can move from fragmented data to a working passport system.

In this updated guide, we share what has changed since last year and which DPP providers are still leading the market for fashion and textiles.

‍

What changed since 2025: clearer direction, higher expectations

Over the past year, DPP discussions moved from general “readiness” to real implementation planning.

Two key updates matter for fashion brands:

- The EU set clearer priorities for the first wave of DPP rollout

The European Commission adopted the 2025–2030 working plan under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). It signals how DPP implementation will be phased, and confirms that textiles are part of the priority scope. ‍

- The Commission started defining how DPP data should be handled

In April 2025, the Commission launched a consultation on the DPP system, including how passport data may be managed by service providers and whether certification should be required. 

That’s a strong signal for the market: DPP isn’t just a visual output. It’s a data system, and the ecosystem is moving toward more formal expectations around reliability and interoperability.

‍

What stayed the same: DPP starts with product and supplier data

Even with clearer policy direction, one reality hasn’t changed:

DPPs only work if your product data is structured and complete.

For fashion brands, that data typically sits across multiple sources:

• supplier documents and material declarations
• certifications and audits
• internal product data systems
• spreadsheets and manual reporting files
• e-commerce content

The problem is not that brands don’t have information, it’s that the information often isn’t in a format that can be reused across compliance, operations, and customer-facing touchpoints.

That’s why DPP provider selection in 2026 has become more strategic. The right platform helps you build a structured dataset that can support fashion transparency, traceability, and long-term scalability.

‍

Standards are becoming more concrete (and easier to follow)

Over the last year, DPP standardisation work also progressed. One example is the CEN-CENELEC Workshop Agreement CWA 18186:2025, which provides guidance for setting up Digital Product Passports and related system design options. 

At the same time, the EU-backed work behind CIRPASS has continued through CIRPASS-2, which is now running DPP pilots in real settings, including textiles. 

For brands, this is good news: it becomes easier to build DPPs in a structured way, and to evaluate providers based on concrete system requirements, not generic claims.

How to choose a DPP provider in 2026 (a practical checklist)

Before diving into platforms, here’s what matters most if you want a DPP setup that holds up under real rollout conditions.

Can it work with your existing systems?

DPP should connect into your product and supplier workflows, not sit on top as an extra layer of manual work. Look for integrations with tools like PLM, ERP, supplier databases, and CRM.

Can it handle supplier complexity without blocking progress?

Fashion supply chains are rarely simple. A DPP provider should help you prioritise the right supplier data first, so you can build a realistic path toward compliance and business use, without collecting everything at once.

Does it support structured, verifiable product-level data?

In 2026, the baseline is moving toward machine-readable, reusable product data. Your provider should support evidence-based datasets, versioning, and clear governance, not just a consumer page.

Can it scale across collections and categories?

A DPP approach that only works for a capsule collection won’t hold up long-term. Look for a platform that can scale across product lines, suppliers, and operational teams.

Top Digital Product Passport providers for fashion in 2026

Below is a curated list of DPP providers still considered leading options for fashion and textile transparency, updated to reflect the market’s real direction in 2026.

‍

1) Renoon: DPP infrastructure that connects data, compliance, and customer value

Renoon is designed for brands that want DPP to work as a full operational system, not a one-off output.

The platform helps teams connect existing product and supplier datasets, automate data ingestion through AI-supported workflows, and create DPP outputs that can be used across both compliance and commercial touchpoints (like product pages, QR codes, and after-sale services).

In 2026, this matters because DPP expectations are moving toward system-level reliability: structured datasets, update workflows, and a clear link between supply chain data and what customers or authorities will actually see. 

Best for: brands that want one platform to orchestrate DPP data across systems, suppliers, and customer-facing use cases.

‍

2) TrusTrace: supplier traceability and upstream transparency

TrusTrace remains a major name in traceability and supplier collaboration, widely used by fashion brands working to strengthen upstream data and material visibility.

For DPP, that upstream foundation is essential, especially when brands need to move from supplier reporting into structured product-level datasets.

Best for: brands prioritising deep traceability and supplier-level data management.

‍

3) Retraced: transparency workflows built for fashion supply chains

Retraced is strongly associated with fashion supply chain mapping and transparency, supporting brands with supplier-level structuring and traceability workflows.

For many brands, this type of layer is a practical first step: once supplier data is more reliable, DPP outputs become much easier to build and maintain.

Best for: brands needing structured supplier mapping and transparency processes, compliance focused. 

‍

4) Fairly Made: impact and footprint data with supplier engagement

Fairly Made remains a relevant option for fashion organisations combining supplier engagement with footprint measurement and impact reporting.

It can support DPP readiness when brands need environmental performance data linked to product-level views, as long as the data model is structured enough for reuse.

Best for: brands combining impact metrics with supplier-level engagement.

‍

5) EON: connected products and Digital ID experiences

EON continues to be one of the strongest recognised players in connected products and Digital ID experiences.

For fashion brands, this can be valuable when the goal includes customer engagement and lifecycle services such as ownership, repair, or resale, areas that can be supported through product-level digital identity.

Best for: brands investing in connected product experiences.

The big shift for 2026: DPP isn’t a project, it’s a capability

A year ago, “having a DPP” often meant launching a pilot experience.

In 2026, the standard is higher:

• product data needs to be structured and reusable
• supplier complexity needs a scalable model
• DPP should integrate into daily operations
• the output must remain reliable over time

That’s why the best DPP providers are the ones that help you build the capability behind the passport, not just the visible layer.

Ready to build a DPP system that works in real life?

Choosing a DPP provider is an infrastructure decision, not a feature decision.

If you want to move from scattered supplier data to a structured, scalable DPP system, Renoon is built to support full implementation, from product data structuring to QR and e-commerce integration.

Explore Renoon’s DPP platform or contact us to discuss your rollout.

Digital Product Passports are pushing the industry toward something important: more consistent product information, clearer supply chain accountability, and fewer blind spots across the value chain.

When we build DPP the right way, as structured, reliable data, we don’t just prepare for compliance. We make it easier to improve design decisions, supplier collaboration, and customer trust.

And that’s the direction fashion needs.
