With the EU set to approve Digital Product Passports (DPP) in March 2024, it’s time for fashion manufacturers, brands, along with textiles and footwear companies to get started on their journey to compliance.

Announcing the 500 club. We are going to showcase a different brand from the 500 club each week on Linkedin.

Buyerdock is now an approved partner on Amazon’s Service Provider Network (SPN)

Europen, the packaging industry body, estimates it costs between €1,000 and €2,000 per product for separate artwork to be designed in each country.

Over the next couple of years all consumer products will require a digital product passport (textiles are next), not just in the EU but rolling out across the world.

The barcode is so integral to daily life that it is scanned ten billion times a day, more times than Google’s search engine is used…

As the first company to be approved by GS1 in the UK to deliver 2D barcodes (now called QR codes powered by GS1), we’ve made great strides towards making our QR codes the most Intelligent on the planet. 2D or not 2D is another question, we liken them to i-QR codes (Intelligent QR codes).

If your products reach consumers in Spain, whether it be via a retailer, your website or places like Amazon FBA or Ebay, you will need to comply. Our annual EU recycle licence will cover you for Spain, as well as the Triman in France and Italy.

If you are an Amazon seller that ships product to France or Italy either FBA or FBM, you need to ensure your packaging carries the correct recycle logo otherwise you will be at risk of a fine upto €100k or worse up two years in prison according to French law

The Triman logo means that the product or packaging can be recycled and components must be disposed of separately. The accompanying “Info-tri” serves as a sorting guide and helps consumers to dispose of the waste in the correct recycling or waste paper containers.
