PAPERTALE TECHNOLOGIES
The textile and fashion industry stands on the brink of transformation. For years, it has faced criticism for lacking transparency, perpetuating greenwashing, and enabling exploitative practices. Today, the sector confronts a new era of accountability, driven by regulations like the Digital Product Passport (DPP), Forced Labour Regulation, Extended Producers Responsibility and the Green Claims Directive. These regulations seek to mend a broken system, yet they also challenge brands and suppliers to navigate the complexities of compliance.
PaperTale offers a revolutionary solution that allows us to adapt and excel in this new reality. We are excited to announce our presence at Munich Fabric Start, where we invite you to explore how PaperTale is shaping the future of fashion.

How PaperTale Makes a Difference
PaperTale is more than a technology platform; it’s a commitment to sustainability, fairness, and innovation. By harnessing blockchain and AI technologies, PaperTale creates a transparent ecosystem that builds trust while ensuring compliance. Our tools empower everyone in the supply chain—factory workers, suppliers, brands, and consumers—to collaborate in creating a more responsible fashion industry.
PaperTale’s Key Features:
Verified Data and Transparency: PaperTale uses a two-point verification system to ensure the accuracy and integrity of supply chain data. This includes creating digital twins of physical products, enabling brands to trace every step from raw materials to the end of life.
Empowering Social Sustainability: Through Social App (SAPP), PaperTale champions worker welfare by providing access to essential information about wages, contracts, and workplace safety, while adhering to GDPR standards. This approach promotes fairness and helps factories proactively address risks while ensuring compliance with regulations.
Smarter Communication and Consumer Engagement: The Consumer App (CAPP 3.0) offers unprecedented visibility for consumers, enabling them to explore the journey of their products. Additionally, PaperTale Network (PTN2.0) generates detailed reports tailored to communicate with regulatory bodies. This dual capability—educating consumers and meeting compliance demands—makes communication smarter by addressing diverse stakeholder needs efficiently and effectively.
Circularity and Future-Proof Compliance: PaperTale supports brands in achieving traceability in the take-back loop, facilitating second-hand market growth and conscious consumption. Additionally, its integrated tools—built on a value-based approach—address systemic challenges like forced labour and greenwashing, ensuring compliance that adapts to evolving regulations.

Turning Challenges Into Opportunities
The wave of new regulations demands unified solutions. Fragmented compliance systems create inefficiencies, particularly for Tier 1 suppliers working with multiple brands. PaperTale’s platform eliminates these inefficiencies by integrating diverse systems and automating data sharing. This ensures consistent, accurate reporting while saving time and resources.
Unlike platforms that rely on self-reported data, PaperTale gathers verified primary data directly from the supply chain. This approach addresses the root causes of issues like greenwashing and forced labour, delivering robust solutions that benefit every stakeholder.
Discover PaperTale at Munich Fabric Start
As one of Europe’s premier trade fairs for fashion and textile professionals, Munich Fabric Start offers a unique space to connect, innovate, and collaborate. At our booth, you’ll experience how PaperTale’s solutions empower brands to achieve transparency, embrace circular practices, and navigate the complexities of today’s regulatory environment. Specifically, you can scan a product using the PaperTale Consumer App and explore its entire lifecycle (DPP-ready set of data) and see the people who created it; hear more about our pilot project with Rifo for take-back loop and see how we enable circularity for brands; or find out how our platform integrates diverse systems to streamline reporting, save time, and reduce errors.
Whether you’re exploring product traceability, seeking to streamline compliance, or driving sustainability, PaperTale provides the tools to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry.
