Position paper – Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, analysis of final text
The proposal for the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) was unprecedented – aiming to make all products sustainable by default. In our position paper, we analyse the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of the ESPR and explain the next steps for implementing this important EU Regulation.
Ultimately, the success of the ESPR will depend on its implementation, including many upcoming activities, secondary legislation, and the role of standardisation. Prioritising products and horizontal measures will reduce potential delays and ensure that the most polluting products are dealt with first.
For many years, we have been vocal in expanding the ecodesign framework to all products, advocating wider and better ecodesign rules. We have work ahead of us in the development of the delegated acts for each product sector. ECOS will continue to be there every step of the way.
