Event Information
The EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) came into force on 18th July meaning the regulation is likely to have a hard implementation date of around January 2026. Hailing from the bloc’s Circular Economy Action Plan of March 2020, this is perhaps its most ambitious sustainability regulation yet, its aim to make environmentally sustainable products the norm across the EU.
This regulation’s rules will apply to all products placed on the EU market, whether produced inside or outside the EU. However, given the complexity and international nature of UK exported goods, it is anticipated that this regulation will have profound impacts on GB exporters to the EU, particularly those exporting Iron & steel, aluminium, textiles (both garments and footwear), furniture (including mattresses), tyres, detergents, paints, lubricants, chemicals, energy-related products (including new measures and revisions of existing ones) and ICT products, as well as other electronics.
With less than a year to prepare, it is essential that those GB businesses exporting to the EU gain an appreciation of the regulation’s scope and their compliance obligations to ensure they have adequate time to prepare, and their trade is uninterrupted.
