EVERY PRODUCT.
FULLY AUDITABLE.

Every ByteWear product ships with a Digital Product Passport — a live record of materials, manufacturing, carbon footprint, and certifications pulled directly from our supply chain database. Not marketing copy. Actual data you can read and verify.

// HOW_IT_WORKS

01

SCAN_QR

Each garment ships with a QR code on the care label. Scan it from any device — no app required.

02

READ_DATA

See carbon footprint (kg CO₂e), materials composition, factory location, and certifications.

03

VERIFY

Data is pulled live from our Supabase database — not static HTML, not a marketing badge.

// WHY_WE_BUILT_THIS

The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) entered into force in July 2024 and mandates Digital Product Passports for priority product categories — textiles and apparel are among the first in scope.

We built DPPs in 2026 because transparency should be the default, not something bolted on for compliance. Every claim we make about materials, manufacturing, and carbon footprint is machine-readable and verifiable. Think of it as open-sourcing the supply chain.

No vague “eco” badges. No offsetting without evidence. Just data.

// FAQ

What is a Digital Product Passport?+
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured data record attached to each physical product. It contains: materials composition, carbon footprint (kg CO₂e), manufacturing location, certifications, and recyclability rating. You can scan the QR code on the garment tag or visit /passport/[product-id] directly.
Is the DPP data live or static?+
Live. The DPP is pulled from our Supabase database each time you load the page — not hardcoded or cached in HTML. The passport page shows a live indicator when connected to the database.
Why does ByteWear use Digital Product Passports?+
The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which entered into force in July 2024, mandates Digital Product Passports for priority product categories including textiles. Apparel is among the first sectors in scope. We built DPPs in 2026 because transparency should be the default — not a compliance checkbox added at the last minute.
Can I access DPP data via API?+
Yes. Every product's full passport data is available at GET /api/v1/products/[id]. The API supports JSON and text/markdown content negotiation. No API key required. Browse the full catalog at /api/v1/products.
What certifications are included in the DPP?+
Certifications vary by product but include GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) for cotton garments, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for accessories, and FSC for packaging materials. Each passport links directly to the relevant certification body.
