ProKnoWara and Traced Systems Partner to Advance EU Digital Product Passport Implementation in Bangladesh’s Textile Sector

Dhaka, Bangladesh | [Insert Date]

ProKnoWara Consulting Firm has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Traced Systems to accelerate implementation of the European Union’s Digital Product Passport (DPP) framework within Bangladesh’s textile and ready-made garments (RMG) industry. https://tracedsystems.com/

The collaboration aligns Bangladesh’s largest export sector with upcoming EU regulatory requirements under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which mandates enhanced product transparency, lifecycle traceability, and sustainability data disclosure across the EU market.

Under the agreement:

• Traced Systems will deploy sector-specific EU DPP technology and digital traceability infrastructure tailored to textile supply chains.

• ProKnoWara will lead national-level factory onboarding, compliance readiness programmes, and supply chain transformation initiatives across Bangladesh.

The partnership is designed to provide structured, scalable support to textile manufacturers exporting to the European Union, enabling smoother regulatory adaptation while strengthening long-term trade competitiveness.

Supporting EU Sustainability and Transparency Objectives

The EU Digital Product Passport is expected to reshape global supply chain reporting standards by requiring structured digital records on product origin, materials composition, environmental impact, and lifecycle performance.

Through this initiative, Bangladeshi textile manufacturers will gain:

• Access to compliant DPP infrastructure aligned with EU requirements

• Operational guidance for traceability integration across multi-tier supply chains

• Capacity-building programmes to ensure sustainable and digitally enabled exports

This cooperation signals a proactive approach from Bangladesh’s private sector to align with Europe’s green transition and circular economy objectives.

Enhancing EU–South Asia Supply Chain Resilience

Bangladesh remains one of the European Union’s largest apparel sourcing partners. By integrating EU-compliant DPP systems at scale, the initiative aims to reinforce transparency, resilience, and sustainability within EU–South Asia textile trade flows.

The MoU also positions Bangladesh as an early mover in Digital Product Passport deployment across the broader South Asian manufacturing ecosystem.
