The European DPP Registry is operational:

On 17 July 2026, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1778 entered into force. This made a key element of the future Digital Product Passport (DPP) legally operational: the European DPP Registry. Although textile and clothing firms are not yet required to register DPPs, this development offers a first concrete view of how the future system will work. For manufacturers, brands, importers and other economic operators, now is a good time to understand what the registry is, why it exists and how it may affect the sector.
