The new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which was adopted at the end of May 2024, sets comprehensive requirements for the sustainability of products across their entire life cycle. In future, it will no longer be possible to impose requirements only on energy-related products such as washing machines, refrigerators or motors. Instead, almost all products will now fall within the possible scope of future product regulations.
The new Ecodesign Regulation itself does not yet impose any requirements on the products concerned. It merely contains criteria for new product regulations, which will be issued in the form of subordinate product-specific regulations. The requirements in the product regulations relate to the entire life cycle of a product and cover a wide range of sustainability aspects. In addition to material efficiency, this also includes aspects such as durability, reparability, reuse, processing, environmental footprint and water, soil and air pollution.
