We participated in the Texworld Paris trade show during a conference on the theme of the challenges and opportunities of the Digital Product Passport in the fashion sector. Pantxika Ospital, Traceability consultant at e-SCM, spoke at the conference at the beginning of July at the exhibition center in Paris Porte de Versailles. We were alongside the members of the Chair to present to you the work carried out within the working groups.
For more than six years, e-SCM has been actively involved in the Bali Chair , an initiative bringing together players in the Textile, Fashion & Luxury industry determined to promote circular, transparent and agile fashion. As a Supply Chain , e-SCM leads the “Traceability & Transparency” working group, a crucial area of innovation aimed at creating a more responsible mode.
Pantxika Ospital , business consultant at e-SCM, demonstrated in her thesis work the importance of the data model necessary to power a Digital Product Passport. This model, perfectly aligned with the principles of an Agile Supply Chain , makes it possible to respond to the challenges of flexibility and rationalization of supplies in a complex economic context. Thanks to this model, it is possible to ensure complete traceability of finished products, made possible by process auditability.
The “ Traceability & Transparency ” aspects of e-SCM ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and support the transition to a more responsible mode. This approach ensures that each stage of the product lifecycle is transparently documented, providing consumers and regulators with complete visibility into the origin and journey of products.
The recognition of this work by the European Parliament , which requested a report on the Digital Passport , attests to the expertise and relevance of the research carried out by e-SCM , in collaboration with ESTIA teacher-researchers.
