Entry into force of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) is expected in June 2024. This new regulation will improve EU products’ circularity, energy performance and other environmental sustainability aspects but will bring new obligations for exporters to the EU.

The European Commission held an information session on the topic on 22 May 2024. The aim of the session was to update stakeholders on ESPR’s main provisions, outline implementation steps and respond to participant queries.

The session recording and agenda are now available through the link below:

A FAQ will be released on the ESPR website in the next few weeks. The European Commission plans to hold an information on the Digital Product Passport soon. Details will become available here in due course.
