EU’s Digital Product Passport for luxury fashion
Strategy · Research · Writing
In March 2022, published its Proposal for Eco-design for Sustainable Product Regulation (ESPR) to help “reduce the negative life cycle impacts of products.” To do this, the proposal introduces the Digital Product Passport (DPP) as a tool for managing the data and interoperability required so that people and regulators can readily access and read each product’s value chain data footprint to verify its pre- and post-production claims.
Together with Modem, we explored how a luxury fashion brand could meet regulation requirements and create new client experiences across the business.
Managing (read: shepherding) a decentralised, volunteer-run community organisation is hard. Publishing consistently good content from that group is even harder.

Feedback
It's rare to find people you sync so effortlessly with that your output and energy increase three-fold. For me, Ploi is one of those people. I worked with Ploi as a colleague on clients projects, and on a day-to-day basis for AIxDesign. 11/10 would recommend.
