The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), a new EU regulation set to take effect on July 18, 2024, is a pivotal element of the European Commission’s strategy for promoting environmentally sustainable and circular products. This regulation aims to ensure that products are designed with their entire lifecycle in mind, significantly enhancing sustainability and reducing environmental impact across Europe. Products and the way we use them can have a significant impact on the environment. Consumption in the EU can therefore be a major cause of climate change and pollution.
The ESPR is part of a package of measures that are central to achieving the objectives of the 2020 Circular Economy Action Plan. They will contribute to helping the EU reach its environmental and climate goals, doubling its circularity rate of material use and to achieving its energy efficiency targets by 2030.
