SOLUTIONS — FOR RECYCLERS

The material data you need. Attached to the product.

Passr gives recyclers access to verified material composition, hazardous substance flags, and disassembly instructions through the product's Digital Product Passport — without contacting the brand.

THE CHALLENGE
You can't recover what you can't identify.

Effective end-of-life material recovery depends on knowing what a product is made of — precisely, not approximately. A jacket described as '80% polyester' on its care label does not tell a recycler whether the polyester contains PFAS, what the coating chemistry is, how the materials are bonded, or whether any components need to be separated before processing.

This data exists somewhere in the supply chain. It was collected when the product was designed and manufactured. But it has never had a reliable path to the recycler — because there was no standard for how to store it or how to share it at end of life.

ESPR's Digital Product Passport requirement changes this. The passport is designed to carry material data through the product's entire lifecycle — including to the recycler who processes it.

WHAT THE PASSPORT PROVIDES

Material data, delivered by scanning the product.

Material composition
Verified material composition data — fibre types, percentages, coatings, and trims — sourced from the brand's supply chain and attached to the passport.
Know exactly what you are processing before you start.
Substance flags
SVHC substances present above the 0.1% w/w threshold are flagged in the passport — giving recyclers advance warning of hazardous materials that require special handling.
No surprises when processing coated or treated garments.
Disassembly data
Where available, disassembly instructions and component separation guidance are included in the passport — specifying which components should be separated for optimal material recovery.
Better separation. Better recovery rates.
QR scan access — no account needed
Recyclers access passport data by scanning the product's QR code at verify.passr.eu. No account, no registration, no contact with the brand required.
The data travels with the product, not with a relationship.
REGULATORY BASIS

The framework making this data available.

ESPR explicitly identifies recyclers as passport data recipients — this is a designed part of the regulation's end-of-life data chain.

EU ESPR
In force

Mandates Digital Product Passports for textiles sold in the EU. Destruction ban applies to large brands from July 2026.

EU DPP Framework
Phased rollout

The overarching Digital Product Passport infrastructure requirement. Textile delegated act expected 2027.

EU SCIP Database
In force

Mandatory ECHA notification for articles containing SVHCs above 0.1% weight-by-weight.
