Sustainable streetwear brand Gbadebo partners with CircKit
Part of the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), DPPs aim to increase transparency and traceability by providing clear information on a product’s origin, materials, environmental footprint, and end-of-life options. They are expected to become mandatory for the EU market by 2027.
CircKit’s platform integrates environmental impact, cost, and compliance insights at the design stage, helping transform circularity and compliance into positive impact and competitive advantage. It provides real-time data on 16 environmental factors, including carbon, water, and energy, for fabrics and materials, enabling brands to reverse-engineer impact.
‘Our mission is to make circularity and transparency feel more tangible for a brand’s audience,’ said founder and CEO Joe Darwen. ‘Working with Gbadebo has shown how DPP technology can empower independent, creative designers to communicate the story and impact of their pieces.’
