Material intelligenceFor the people who set apparel standardsWeek 24 · 2026 · 25+ brands

The patterns in what Europe’s clothes are made of.

A measurement layer for the European apparel market.

Fragmented public disclosure, turned into one structured, comparable record — so the market-wide patterns read directly: the share of products built from a single fibre versus a blend, how far recycled materials have been taken up, which certifications are actually used. Around 65,000 products across 25+ brands, refreshed weekly and linked back to each brand’s own page.

of products across 25+ European catalogues carry no stated country of origin.

Country of origin remains the least-disclosed of the core fields, even as the DPP and ESPR, the EU’s incoming product-disclosure rules, move to require it. Measured per product, every week, against each brand’s published page. The gap between what a brand states and what it leaves blank is itself a signal.

What this gives you

ApparelSignals turns fragmented public information into actionable industry intelligence — a measurement layer the people who set apparel standards can build on, rather than gather themselves.

A searchable, comparable view of the market at the product level: fibre composition, recycled and certified content, country of origin, care and price, read from each brand’s own public product page. No inference, only what a brand states — measured the same way every week, so the patterns, and the shifts in them, hold up to scrutiny.

The patterns it surfaces
Single vs blendedThe share of products built from a single fibre versus a blend of several — the clearest signal of how readily a garment can be recycled.
Recycled adoptionHow far recycled materials have actually been taken up, brand by brand and across the whole market.
Composition trendsMaterial make-up by category, geography and brand segment, and how it shifts from one season to the next.
Circularity benchmarksIndustry baselines for the metrics that circular-economy work is measured against.
What you can do with it
BenchmarkObjective, source-linked baselines for material adoption across the industry.
MonitorOngoing, sector-wide measurement in place of one-off studies — the change tracked as it happens, season over season.
Skip the legworkRather than reviewing thousands of garments by hand to gauge how common blended fibres are, read it directly — evidence that would otherwise take months of manual research, ready to cite and generated at scale.
It maps to the frameworks you steward
DPPThe EU Digital Product Passport. The fields it will require are the fields recorded here today.
ESPRThe Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, which moves disclosure from voluntary to expected.
Circularity vocabularyRecycled and certified content, fibre composition and origin, in one consistent set of terms.
Who it is built for
01

The organisations setting the standard

Foundations, certifiers and coalitions steering disclosure. A neutral, source-linked record you can cite, vet and amplify, with the method open to inspection.

02

The brands they convene

A consistent measure of what each brand publishes today. Coverage stands as evidence of reach, read as observation rather than a leaderboard.
