The Materials & composition section holds what the product is made of. The passport shows it, and LUXIMA uses it to estimate environmental impact.

Is a fibre composition required?

Start with the Fibre composition choice:
  • Required (a textile product)
  • Not required: not a textile product
  • Not required: Annex V product (a toy, a badge…)

Total weight

Enter the finished product’s weight per unit in Total weight (g). Leave it empty if you do not know it. With a total weight set, LUXIMA works out each material’s weight from its share. If you entered material weights without a total, click Use as total to add them up.

Add materials

Click Add material for each fibre and fill in:
  • Material. Type a name, such as Merino Wool, and pick from the suggestions.
  • Share %. Its share of the fabric.
  • Recycled. Tick it if the material is recycled.
The line under the list shows the composition total.
The shares must add up to 100%. Otherwise you cannot save: “Material composition must add up to 100% before saving.”

Linings and parts

Some garments have fabrics that are stated separately on the label.
  • Lining. Click Add a lining, then Add lining material. The lining’s shares must add up to 100% on their own.
  • Parts. A part made of another fabric that is 30% or more of the garment’s weight, such as knit sleeves, is stated on its own. Click Add a part, name it (for example “Sleeves”) and add its materials. Each part’s shares must add up to 100% on their own.

Animal-origin parts

Tick Has leather, suede, horn or fur parts if it applies. The passport then says “Contains non-textile parts of animal origin”.

Estimated compositions

If a composition was estimated by AI, for example during an import, a banner says so, and the passport marks it as estimated. Check the materials, correct them if needed, and click Confirm composition.
