Fibre & material content
Composition, blends and material origin.
Every garment, a scannable passport.
Textiles are a first-wave ESPR priority group. Norruva turns fibre composition, durability, care and origin into a Digital Product Passport your customer reaches from the care label — ready for resale, repair and recycling.

How it works
From your systems to a verified passport.
Norruva pulls what your teams already hold, checks it against the textiles model, and publishes a passport your customer reaches from the care label.
Connect your data
Pull the data you already hold from the systems you already run — no re-keying.
Validate against the model
The sector template checks every required field and flags gaps before anything is published.
Anchor & publish
Norruva anchors the passport and resolves it from the product’s QR or Digital Link, with a full audit trail.
Developers

Common questions
Questions textile teams ask.
When will a passport be required for textiles?
Textiles are a named priority group under the ESPR. The detailed requirements arrive through a delegated act — Norruva keeps your data model aligned as the rules are finalised, so you're ready ahead of the date.
How does a customer open the passport?
Each item carries a GS1 Digital Link (QR or NFC) on or near the care label. Scanning resolves to the product's passport in any browser — no app required.
What data do we need to collect?
Fibre composition, durability and care, recycled content, substances of concern and supply-chain origin. Norruva ships a textiles template so you start from the expected fields, not a blank sheet.
Can one passport cover a whole style?
Both are supported. Model at the style or GTIN level and, where resale and repair provenance need it, resolve down to serialised items.
