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 toward a regenerative, inclusive economy. We are building the infrastructure to make it possible—and the governance to make it last.
Fashion is entering a mandatory transparency era.
The regulatory and market forces converging on the fashion industry are structural. They respond to a cost long borne by the climate and the communities that make its garments and receive its waste. The EU's ESPR will require a Digital Product Passport (DPP) for every textile placed on the market. Its first obligations already apply, and the shared infrastructure to support them does not yet exist.

Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)
EU framework law that sets mandatory ecodesign and transparency standards for physical goods sold in the European Union
Data Act & Data Governance Act
Core pillars of the European strategy for data, designed to create a single market for data
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Frameworks
Environmental policy approaches that shift the physical and financial responsibility of a product's end-of-life management to the producers
Common European Data Spaces
Architecture framework for interoperable, sovereign data sharing across ecosystems
The 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 finally remembers what it makes, and every actor in a garment's life shares in that memory.
Digital Product Passports (DPPs)
Apparel identity, materials, and lifecycle record, carried from manufacture through post-sale events: 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 shows how long garments actually last, how often they are repaired, and where they end up, and it structures 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.
Every event, documented and signed.
Every lifecycle event pinned to where it physically happened, signed by its real author.
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, manufacturers & circular operators
Brands at every stage of the transition, from those that want regulation resolved simply to those that aim to lead a regenerative industry, and everyone who makes, repairs, resells, or recycles their garments.
Institutions, policy & research
Regulators and international organizations that require observed evidence of how circularity policy performs in practice, and researchers working at the frontier of data and sustainability science.
Strategic partners & investors
Impact investors, industry associations, technology partners that build on our passports, and civil society organizations working with the communities that make and receive apparel.
This is not early access.
It is early architecture.
Our founding partners will shape fashion's next operating system with us—testing, refining, and activating the infrastructure before full deployment. This is a lever for the circular economy, built with those who understand what is at stake.
Let's architect the unprecedented.
