Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation – ESPR

The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which entered into force on 18 July 2024, is the cornerstone of the Commission’s approach to more environmentally sustainable and circular products.

Products and the way we use them can have a significant impact on the environment. Consumption in the EU can therefore be a major cause of climate change and pollution.

The ESPR is part of a package of measures that are central to achieving the objectives of the 2020 Circular Economy Action Plan. They will contribute to helping the EU reach its environmental and climate goals, doubling its circularity rate of material use and to achieving its energy efficiency targets by 2030.
