VIDEO: Making sustainable products the norm with ESPR

The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) is the cornerstone of the Commission’s approach to more environmentally sustainable & circular goods.

The ESPR aims to significantly improve the sustainability of products placed on the EU market by improving their circularity, energy performance, recyclability and durability. 

It also plays a central role in developing a strong, well-functioning single market for sustainable products in the EU.

By doing so, a significant step has been taken towards better protecting our planet, fostering more sustainable business models and strengthening the overall competitiveness and resilience of the EU economy.

Contributing significantly to this approach is the Ecodesign Forum – the main arena for consulting stakeholders on the development of rules under the ESPR. It brings together a broad range of stakeholders and key ecodesign actors to contribute to the preparation of ecodesign requirements and working plans, as well as examining other areas of relevance to the ESPR process.

Watch our video above for more info on both the ESPR and the first Ecodesign Forum held in Brussels in February.
