Dr. Daniela Zavec in an interview with Provenant
The smart textiles sector sits at the cutting edge of textiles and electronics, creating both complexity and opportunity for brands wishing to harness them.
We posed the question: could the opportunities that Digital Product Passports provide in relation to transparency, traceability and circularity help brands leverage smart textiles?
Dr. Daniela Zavec, founder of TITERA and ITP GmbH Gesellschaft für Intelligente Textile Produkte, shares her expert opinion: DPPs have the potential to build verified European supply chains, raise product quality, and bring smart textile innovation closer to everyday consumers within the next 3–5 years. If implemented thoughtfully, DPPs can be a catalyst for better products and stronger industry trust.
