Under the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), every fashion and textile brand selling in the EU will need a Digital Product Passport. Choosing a provider in 2026 means reading a young, fast-moving market. This is an objective map of the main players, with detailed, factual comparisons.
No. GRS verifies recycled content in bulk kilograms; the ESPR Digital Product Passport requires a verifiable declaration for each individual garment. GRS is a strong input to compliance, not compliance itself.
The ESPR delegated act for textiles is expected in 2027, with enforcement of the Digital Product Passport from 2028 for garments sold in the EU.
A GRS Transaction Certificate proves a quantity of recycled material (in kilograms) moved between two certified parties over a period. A DPP claim is the recycled-content statement attached to one specific finished product that a consumer or auditor can verify.
Through a mass-balance method that allocates certified material across produced units using fabric construction and yield data, then verifies and signs each claim. This is what the Reeco® platform automates.
