The infrastructure layer fashion's circular economy has been missing.
Fashion's next chapter will be built on verifiable trust, interoperable systems, and a cultural shift towards regeneration. We are building the infrastructure to make it possible — and the governance logic to make it last.

Fashion is entering a mandatory transparency era.
The regulatory and market forces converging on the fashion industry are not incremental — they are structural. The EU's ESPR will require a Digital Product Passport for every textile placed on the market, and the rules are arriving without the infrastructure to support them.
See the regulatory timelineThe operating system for a new circularity paradigm.
ARRETIA is the data coordination infrastructure for fashion’s circular economy. We are creating the federated layer that turns product data, from raw material through end of life and back, into a single, interoperable architecture across the entire value chain.
This unlocks lifecycle intelligence at product level, verifiable circularity at scale, and entirely new categories of value that only become possible when an industry can finally act on what it knows.
Digital Product Passports
A garment’s identity, materials and lifecycle record, carried from manufacture through repair, resale and recycling. ESPR-ready, built on the CIRPASS-2 core data model.
Federated Architecture
Each actor holds custody of its own data while the network coordinates trust across it. Designed to data-space principles, so passports stay portable across platforms and outlive any single vendor.
Lifecycle Intelligence
Every product’s history, queryable event by event, timestamped, located and attributable. Across a portfolio it becomes intelligence — durability, repair rates, end-of-life outcomes — and the auditable evidence that EPR eco-modulation requires.
Circularity at Scale
Repair, resale and recycling recorded as they happen, by the operators who perform them, so circular value can be measured and verified.
Today’s deployment is a single coordinated registry; the federated resolver layer is the next architectural milestone, and the data model is built for it from the start.
Every event, documented and signed.
Every lifecycle event pinned to where it physically happened — and signed by its real author.
Repairs, refurbishments and resales are recorded by certified operators — not the brand. The brand has no write access to those events.
Illustrative route, modelled on the demo passport — the places and dates are examples; the signatures on the real passport are not.
Today, every garment that enters its second life carries no history. The circular economy the law now requires cannot function without product memory.
Built for the actors who shape the system.
Brands & circular operators
Fashion brands, retailers, repairers, recyclers and resale platforms preparing for the ESPR deadline — an alternative to point solutions, in-house builds or closed platforms.
Institutions, policy & research
Regulators and EU bodies: data portability guaranteed under ESPR Art. 10, open specifications, published governance, and no exclusive rights over a customer’s records.
This is not early access.
It is early architecture.
The infrastructure problem is a climate problem, an economic problem, and a problem of justice at once. What is built now will carry everything that follows.
