Every product, a scannable passport.
The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation requires compliant Digital Product Passports — composition, origin, footprint, lifecycle — all accessible from a QR code. Alpica turns the data you already have into passports that pass audit.
The EU ESPR is rolling out by product category.
The framework is in force; the category-by-category mandates are coming on a known schedule. Here's when passports stop being optional.
- 2024
Framework adopted
The ESPR — Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 — enters into force, establishing the Digital Product Passport as the EU's compliance mechanism.
- 2025–26
Working plan
The Commission identifies the first product groups and adopts delegated acts setting passport requirements per category.
- 2027
Battery passports
Under EU 2023/1542 the battery passport mandate takes effect — the first product category with a dated, explicit DPP requirement.
- 2028
Textiles & priority groups
First ESPR delegated acts come into force. Textiles are among the priority product groups in the working plan.
- 2030+
Electronics & construction
Subsequent waves extend passport requirements to electronics, construction materials, and further product categories.
Indicative — actual dates set by ESPR delegated acts as published by the Commission.

Textiles & Apparel
Textiles are among the priority product groups under the EU ESPR. Every garment's passport must carry composition, origin, environmental footprint, and circularity data.
- Regulation
- ESPR delegated act (in preparation)
- Deadline
- Among first priority groups under ESPR
Required passport data
- Fibre composition
- Origin & traceability
- Care & repair instructions
- Recycled content
- CO₂e footprint
- End-of-life routing
What's in every Alpica-generated DPP.
- 1
DPP ID + product ID
Each passport gets a unique public DPP identifier alongside your internal product ID. Both are visible and stable across the passport's lifetime.
- 2
QR code
Encodes the public passport URL. Print it on labels or care tags; scanning opens the passport on any device — no app required.
- 3
Material composition
Mapped from supplier data via AI semantic matching, then validated against the schema's rules. Provenance for each value is in the audit trail.
- 4
CO₂e footprint
Computed automatically via PEFCR and 500 Monte Carlo simulations from the material composition — no manual sustainability lookups.
- 5
Validation status
Every value carries a valid / invalid flag. Auditors immediately see what passed the schema's rules and what is still missing.
Supplier data in. Compliant passports out.
Scattered & inconsistent
- ERPs & PIMs

- Validation flags
- Provenance per value
- Regulator-ready exports
Carbon footprint, calculated — not estimated by hand
The Impute stage calculates CO₂-equivalent emissions for every product from its material composition — material name, share, and weight. No spreadsheets, no manual lookups: the footprint that the passport requires is computed and attached automatically.
Standard methodology
Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules — the EU-backed method for calculating a product's environmental impact.
Monte Carlo simulations
Run per product to produce a robust, statistically-grounded carbon footprint instead of a single fragile point estimate.
CO₂e appended
Footprint values are written back onto every product as eco-design properties — ready to publish straight into the passport.
Every passport value is traceable back to its source.
A passport is a compliance artifact — and compliance has to be defensible. Alpica records every action on every value: who did it, when, why, and the cryptographic hash of the data before and after. Auditors don't have to take your word for it.
Each artifact — passport, mapping, dataset — follows the same lifecycle: AI generates, a human reviews, someone explicitly approves, and only then does it deploy. No AI output reaches a public passport without human verification.
