EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) for Textiles: Passing the 2026 ESPR Audit
In April 2026, EU pilot audits at the Port of Rotterdam detained hundreds of textile shipments due to missing Digital Product Passport (DPP) data under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). This episode covers Tier 3 fiber traceability (RWS/GRS Transaction Certificates), Tier 2 chemical compliance (REACH Annex XVII, OEKO-TEX Annex 6), Tier 1 social audits (BSCI/SMETA), and how AEO certification reduces customs delays by over 90%. Essential listening for scarf importers and textile suppliers exporting to the European Union. Based on WeaveEssence's technical compliance guide.
