CFDR Sustainability Program

The CFDR × Renoon Transparency & Traceability Pilot

Digital Product Passports for Fashion SMEs

January 24 – March 25, 2026
Final outcomes presented during Bucharest Fashion Week

About the program

The two-month pilot was designed to support fashion designers and brands in Romania in preparing for the next phase of sustainable and circular fashion in Europe.

The program focuses on Digital Product Passports (DPP) — a key upcoming requirement under EU regulation — and translates it into a practical, designer-friendly framework, adapted to the realities of small and medium fashion businesses.

Rather than theory or certification, the program offers hands-on guidance, tools, and real use cases, helping designers turn regulation into opportunity.

Why this matters now

From 2027, Digital Product Passports will become mandatory for fashion and textiles in the European Union. Designers and brands are expected to provide structured information about materials, origin, production, care, and circular potential of their products.

This program allows participants to understand what DPP means in practice test it on real products and gain early experience ahead of regulatory pressure.

What participants gain

• Guided onboarding on Renoon’s DPP platform
  Including supply-chain mapping, product data structuring, and passport creation.
• Hands-on application
  Designers will implement DPPs on selected products from their collections.
• Strategic positioning
  Learn how transparency, traceability, and storytelling can enhance brand value, customer trust, and long-term competitiveness.
• Visibility & recognition
  Selected projects will be presented as part of the Sustainability Program outcomes during Bucharest Fashion Week, together with a public summary report.
