Introducing the ESPR
From 2026 onwards, the EU's Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) will introduce a wave of new compliance obligations for manufacturers, importers, and distributors across a wide range of sectors. At the heart of this regulatory shift is the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the broadest of the CEAP measures, which sets out ecodesign requirements for products and introduces a Digital Product Passport to improve transparency across supply chains.
This article by our ESG compliance expert Stef van Kleef and our Sustainability Researcher, Torrin Viergever, explores the ESPR in depth, what it means for businesses, and how you can start getting ready for it.
