The new EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) defines stricter requirements for durability, repairability, and recyclability across various product groups. The work plan outlines the roadmap to sustainable product design, introduces the Digital Product Passport, and sets binding deadlines for corporate implementation.
Starting in 2027, the Digital Product Passport will become mandatory—companies failing to adapt their data processes in time risk being excluded from the EU market.
With the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2025/40 and its direct application starting August 2026, companies across Europe will be faced with stricter documentation and control obligations.
The Waste Framework Directive provides clear rules for textiles: sorting, waste separation, and EU-wide guidelines create transparency and legal certainty.
The EPR reporting obligation in 2026 marks a significant shift. Going forward, all remote sellers – i.e. retailers without a registered office in the destination country – will be required to appoint an authorised representative in each EU country.
From 2026 onwards, the EU will mandate minimum recycled content and recyclability for packaging. Companies must adapt their design, materials, and processes early to remain legally compliant and competitive.
ESPR prioritization determines which product groups will be the first to fall under the new EU Ecodesign Regulation. Find out which sectors are affected and how you can prepare early to ensure legal compliance.
As online marketplaces grow, monitoring obligations become essential to ensure that quality standards, sustainability initiatives, and more are properly implemented.
Packaging EPR laws in the USA are complex, and deadlines are pressing. Our guide provides a clear overview of the requirements in the seven key states.
