UTG Vodnik d.o.o. is the first in Slovenia to obtain the Digital Product Passport
What is a digital product passport?
A digital product passport is a structured digital record linked to a specific product – usually via a QR code or another digital identifier. It contains key information about the product throughout its entire life cycle, from raw materials to end of use.
Typical information includes:
- material composition and origin,
- production and supply chain data,
- the product's environmental impact,
- instructions for use, maintenance and repair,
- information on recycling or reuse options.
Why is the digital product passport important?
The digital product passport brings several benefits:
- Customers can make informed decisions and have greater trust,
- companies gain an opportunity for greater transparency and a competitive advantage,
- supervisory authorities can monitor compliance with legislation more effectively,
- the environment benefits by encouraging repair, longer use and recycling of products.
What it means for textiles and workwear
In the textile industry, the digital product passport marks an important shift towards material traceability and greater manufacturer responsibility. For workwear, this means it will be possible to clearly trace the composition of fabrics, the certification of materials, production conditions and options for reprocessing.
