The expansion of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) is a legislative proposal from the European Commission that aims to make products more sustainable. The law, which is expected to enter into force in the summer of 2024, covers all types of products on the market except for food, feed and medicines. The bill intends to lead the way for new product design and improved production processes and business models, as well as increasing the requirements for information sharing and transparency regarding the handling of unsold products. This legislation will implement digital product passports for increased sustainability and circularity.
Ecodesign as a starting point and guiding principle
The law is based on the ecodesign perspective, with requirements for sustainability, reliability, reusable products that are upgradeable, repairable and easier to maintain and renovate, but also on energy and resource efficiency and information on the content of recycled materials. Rules laid down in this legislation should also be able to cover those substances that inhibit circulability. An important basic idea is that consumers should be able to make more sustainable choices.
Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are a set of sustainability data that enables the creation of circular products and business models. To be able to work effectively with digital product passports, it is important to have good contacts in the supply chain. We help you understand what information will be necessary, and how information exchange along the value chain can be improved and streamlined, to facilitate the introduction of digital product passports. We benchmark using the textile and battery sectors, which are the product segments where the indications regarding requirements are most clear.
