Why Now?
On July 18th 2024, the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), REGULATION (EU) 2024/1781, entered into force. This legislation mandates that “all products must only be placed on the market or put into service if they comply with the eco-design requirements applicable to those products set out in the delegated acts” (Article 3). These requirements include durability, repairability, energy efficiency, recycled content, and overall environmental footprint.
Furthermore, the regulation introduces Digital Product Passports (DPPs), highlighting their role as "an important tool for making information available to actors along the entire value chain" (Recital 32). Textiles, especially garments and footwear, are among the EU Commission's key priorities for early adoption by April 19th, 2025.
