This checklist covers DPP readiness under Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, separating what has a legal basis in the ESPR — whose exact detail will be set by the textile delegated act, not yet adopted — from what are business recommendations. Use it to assess your current readiness level and prioritize actions.
Legend
Items marked as "ESPR legal basis" rest on the Regulation, but their exact scope will be set by the textile delegated act: today they are what to expect, not an item-by-item enforceable obligation. The rest are practical recommendations that improve your readiness and that the regulation does not ask for.
1. Product Data
2. Traceability and Origin
3. Environmental Impact
4. Circularity and End of Life
5. Certifications and Compliance
6. Technology Infrastructure
7. Organisation and Processes
