What is it?
In April 2025, the European Commission adopted the first Work Plan under the Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) for the period 2025–2030. It sets out which product categories will be prioritized for the new ecodesign requirements and digital product passport (DPP), as well as the timeframe for their introduction. For European businesses, this plan is crucial as it will guide EU manufacturers and the market towards more sustainable development and better integration into the European economy.
