With the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the Digital Product Passport (DPP), the European Union is introducing a new generation of regulatory requirements. The objective is to make products more sustainable, transparent, and circular throughout their entire lifecycle.
The ESPR defines binding requirements for product design, durability, reparability, recyclability, and energy efficiency. The DPP supplements these regulations with a digital data foundation: it makes product-related information available across the entire value chain – from raw materials and carbon footprint to disposal instructions.
The Consequence:
Without meeting these requirements, access to the EU market will be severely restricted or impossible in the future – particularly for manufacturers, importers, and distributors of physical products.
The ESPR & DPP Challenge
The new regulations bring profound changes to product development, data management, and supply chains:
• Missing or insufficient product data across the supply chain
• Unfulfilled ecodesign and sustainability requirements
• Unclear data structures for the Digital Product Passport
• Lack of transparency regarding materials, origin, and environmental metrics
These shortcomings can lead to market exclusion, compliance violations, or competitive disadvantages – especially in data-driven markets and amidst rising sustainability demands.
