Your ESPR Challenges

Did You Know?

Up to 80 % of a product’s environmental impact is decided at the design stage ¹.

And that part of the life cycle is exactly where the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) now requires proof of recycled content, carbon footprint, and safe materials. ¹

You Don’t Have as Much Time as You Think

2027 may seem like a long way away, but for manufacturers with complex supply chains, there is much to do between now and the deadline, which is closer than it appears — much, much closer.

Digital Product Passports Require a Lot of Data

Gathering primary data across multi-tier, global supply chains is a heavy lift that can take years to complete.

Most Companies Are Risking Non-Compliance

Nearly half of supply chain professionals say they’re not ready for DPP requirements.

Product Redesign Takes Time

Updating products to meet new ESPR rules — and recertifying them — can take three years or more.

EU ESPR: Don’t Get Left Behind

Accurate supplier data now carries real monetary and competitive value. Importers need it to secure the CE marking and avoid fines; suppliers need it to stay on customer shortlists. As ESPR requirements tighten, the cost of inaction rises, from parts obsolescence to lost market access.
