As of July 18th, the ESPR is officially in force, introducing significant environmental design requirements for shoes and clothing. Here’s why it’s important:
Environmental Standards
The ESPR sets new benchmarks for product quality, repairability, and durability, reflecting policymakers' expectations for more sustainable products.
Digital Product Passport (DPP)
As a key component of the EU's initiative, the DPP provides consumers with detailed information on product care, traceability, environmental impact, and recycling. Expect a color-coding system to enhance product traceability.
