The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) introduces a Digital Product Passport (DPP) for every garment sold in the EU, encoding material composition, origin, and end-of-life data to enhance material traceability and foster circular textile recovery.

While the framework of the system is introduced, no specific implementation strategy for the textile industry has been chosen. That legislative gap leaves the physical form of the DPP data carrier and the way it's going to be attached to the garment undefined.

This project treats this gap as a design problem requiring a design intervention. Research through Design methodology is applied to synthetize insights from woven and knitted samples.

Local wool is sourced and proposed as a material providing a pathway to regenerative fashion industry and finally integrating QR codes directly into garment structure is proposed as an alternative DPP implementation strategy.

The project argues that DPP implementation is a design question with circular economy consequences, and proposes structural integration as a first iteration and research agenda for future work.
