In 2022, The European Commission will launch its Sustainable Products Initiative. Through minimum requirements on circularity, digital product passports, and other new rules, this framework can potentially make sustainable products not an exception but the norm. We imagined how the SPI could change our lives through three everyday situations – what would a future of sustainable products look like?
