Question 1

How long does it take to onboard with ENVRT?

Accepted Answer

Most brands onboard in around 30 minutes. You upload your collection data through the ENVRT Dashboard and can generate your first Digital Product Passport the same day.

Question 2

What data do I need to provide to get started?

Accepted Answer

At minimum, your garment's material composition (fibre types and percentages), garment weight and country of manufacture. The more supply chain detail you can provide, such as fibre origin, dyeing process and assembly location, the richer your assessment will be.

Question 3

Do I need to have complete supply chain data before starting?

Accepted Answer

No. ENVRT reconstructs your supply chain from the data you provide, filling in missing data points automatically using our materials database. You can start with what you have and improve data quality over time as supplier information becomes available.

Question 4

Can I try ENVRT before committing to a plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can request a free eco-score DPP for one product with no account required, or book a demo and we will walk you through the platform with your own product data. No commitment needed.

Question 5

How does ENVRT calculate the environmental impact of a garment?

Accepted Answer

ENVRT uses Life Cycle Assessment aligned with ISO 14040/14044 on a cradle-to-gate basis, aligned with the PEFCR for apparel and footwear. Each garment is individually assessed to produce climate impact (CO₂e) and water scarcity impact (AWARE method), attributed across six life cycle stages: fibre production, yarn production, fabric production, dyeing and finishing, assembly and transport.

Question 6

What is the AWARE method for water scarcity?

Accepted Answer

AWARE (Available WAter REmaining) is the recommended water scarcity method under the EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) framework. It weights water consumption against regional scarcity factors to produce a figure that reflects actual environmental stress, not just volume consumed. ENVRT uses the AWARE method for every product assessed.

Question 7

What is the difference between ENVRT and a traditional LCA consultancy?

Accepted Answer

Traditional consultancies charge per study, take weeks to months and deliver PDF reports. ENVRT delivers product-level LCA across entire collections in days through an automated platform. The methodology is the same (ISO 14040, PEFCR), but the delivery is faster, more scalable and significantly less expensive.

Question 8

Does ENVRT only measure carbon?

Accepted Answer

No. ENVRT generates both climate impact (CO₂e) and water scarcity impact using the AWARE method for every product assessed. The EU PEF framework identifies water use as one of the most relevant impact categories for apparel, so measuring carbon alone does not satisfy multi-indicator regulatory requirements.

Question 9

What is included in an ENVRT Digital Product Passport?

Accepted Answer

Each DPP contains the garment's environmental footprint (CO₂e and water scarcity), material composition, a transparency score, brand and product information, and supply chain details where available. It is linked to the physical garment via QR code.

Question 10

Can I embed DPPs on my own website?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On Growth and Pro plans, you get embeddable widgets that display sustainability metrics directly on your product pages, styled to match your brand.

Question 11

Are ENVRT DPPs compliant with EU regulations?

Accepted Answer

ENVRT DPPs are built against the ESPR framework and use the same ISO 14040 and PEFCR methodology that the EU’s DPP data specification methodology references. The exact textile DPP requirements will be defined in the delegated act expected in 2027. Brands building product-level data now using these methods are preparing with the right foundation.

Question 12

How much does ENVRT cost?

Accepted Answer

ENVRT offers three plans: Starter at £149/month for up to 50 products, Growth at £495/month for up to 250 products with full LCA metrics, and Pro at £1,295/month with custom allocation and dedicated support. Annual billing saves 15%.

Question 13

Can I switch plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade at any time. Changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

Question 14

What is included in each plan?

Accepted Answer

Starter includes DPP creation, QR-ready passport pages, transparency scores, CO₂e indicators, French Eco-Score ratings and scan analytics. Growth adds full LCA metrics, AI-powered data ingestion, hotspot detection and product comparisons. Pro includes complete PEF-aligned metrics, advanced modelling, seasonal reports, eco-design strategy and a dedicated account specialist.

Question 15

When will the EU Digital Product Passport be required for textiles?

Accepted Answer

The textile-specific delegated act is expected in 2027, with practical implementation likely from 2028 onward. The preparatory study is already active. Brands building product-level environmental data now are preparing ahead of the requirement.

Question 16

Does ENVRT support French Eco-Score ratings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All plans include French Eco-Score ratings calculated using the official environmental labelling methodology. You can calculate scores for your garments and display them on your DPPs.

Question 17

Can ENVRT data be used for CSRD Scope 3 reporting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The product-level emissions data ENVRT generates provides the building blocks for corporate Scope 3 reporting. The same dataset that supports DPP disclosure also feeds corporate emissions calculations, following the “measure once, report everywhere” principle.

Question 18

Can ENVRT help substantiate green claims?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ENVRT provides per-garment environmental data assessed using ISO 14040 and PEFCR methodology. This gives brands documented, product-specific evidence to back up sustainability marketing claims, aligned with the methodologies that the EU Green Claims Directive and UK CMA Green Claims Code reference.
