Industry experts are also closely watching these regulatory implementations to understand how manufacturers and retailers are taking responsibility for eco-friendly products as well as blended fabrics and their usage in the industry.
Tasha Lapidus, founder at SophisticaLab and a biomaterials researcher, said that when the DPP occurs, a factor that one may call trust will happen. “It will create a trust field around any material, and it does not matter if it is a biomaterial, simply a natural material, or synthetic material, because it is saying a story about the whole path of this material,” Lapidus said in an interview with Fibre*Fashion.
“EPP and DPP, it is like two sides of one path. If DPP is what I must say, like a beginning of the circle, EPP is more like the ending part of this circle. So, in general, both of them are very important to create trust,” she mentioned.
