  • Digital Product Passport: Opportunities for a stronger, more sustainable Single Market

    Press briefing | Widely applied Digital Product Passports (DPP) will transform EU product policy. But setting up a DPP framework in the forthcoming European Product Regulation is only the tip of the iceberg. Every product’s digital record must be linked to data – and the measurements will be standardised. Find out how the EU can build a stronger, more sustainable Single Market through DPP, product legislation, and the standardisation system that underpins it all.

  • With the ESPR, the EU launches a revolution in sustainable design

    Negotiations on the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) [1] have concluded – activating a new era for sustainable products. More products will be covered by ambitious ecodesign rules, pushing the most polluting goods off the market and incentivising manufacturers to prioritise the environment. The ESPR is a victory for our planet – and for ECOS, following its longstanding call for optimised and broader ecodesign rules that apply to all sectors [2].
