We have been active in the Bangladesh market for a long time. We continue to strengthen our presence there through regular visits and partnerships. However, what excites us the most is meeting customers and visitors who show interest in our technologies at the fairs, exhibitions.

This year, we participated in the DTG 2024 exhibition in Bangladesh. From February 1st to 4th, we showcased products such as Digital Factory, smart sensors, and automation solutions to our visitors.

We value the appreciation of our visitors who experienced the Digital Factory with VR technology at DTG. Additionally, we are proud to have met the needs of sustainable production with our products developed under the #sustainthefuture vision.

We would like to thank our visitors for their interest at DTG. This marks the beginning of a collaborative journey towards the future of textile.

We look forward to meeting you at future events to witness the future together.

Climate change and environmental degradation are an existential threat to the world and sustainable production is a must to overcome these challenges. Thanks to a growing global awareness of environmental issues, many countries and global entities started to regulate some legislations and define road maps. One of the terms showing up through these legislations is Digital Product Passport (DPP); it is a tool that presents the story of the product’s lifetime.

The European Green Deal which aims to achieve zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050 is on the European United’s agenda. For businesses exporting to Europe, understanding this legislation and its integration is essential.

As part of the European Green Deal, the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) aims to reduce negative environmental impacts of products and increase functionality in the market. The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a tool designed to make meeting the requirements of ESPR easier.
DPP is a digital record of the product as a unique identifier that is physically present on the product via a data carrier such as a barcode, QR code, or some other data-capture medium. It must include some mandatory information that is specified as a part of ESPR, such as the product’s performance, substances of concern, percentage of recycled content, and expected lifetime.

The DPP is an essential tool that provides detailed information about a product’s environmental impact, materials used, energy consumption, and end-of-life considerations. In this way, consumers can make informed decisions about the product’s potential impact on the environment and can have transparency and traceability throughout the product’s entire life. Manufacturers can use it to optimize production processes, reduce waste, and comply with the EU’s environmental regulations.

The textile industry has long been associated with environmental concerns, from water-intensive cotton farming to energy-consuming manufacturing processes. At this point, It is important to understand the significance of Digital Product Passports (DPP) in the textile industry.

In 2024, the European Union will start to apply many applications; so DPP helps manufacturers comply with stringent environmental standards like the Green Deal.

DPP is an essential tool for the textile industry to become more transparent, accountable, and environmentally conscious.

The textile industry is renowned for its vast global impact, from the cultivation of raw materials to manufacturing processes and eventual disposal.

Recognizing the need for sustainable practices, the integration of Digital Product Passport (DPP) in the textile sector seems proving to be a game-changer. Since the EU will start to put many applications into practice. So, manufacturers have to start to use these tools like DPP to comply with environmental standards. Supplied being integrated, providing transparency and eco-conscious manufacturing, DPP applications also have some challenges such as standardization, data security, and adoption. These challenges must be overcome through collaboration.

2024 is so close, especially the companies with a trading relationship with Europe will need to ask themselves for the future of sustainable textile production: “Are you ready for the future?”
