A new JRC (Joint Research Centre) report has assessed the potential of various products to be regulated under the new EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), aimed at making sustainable products the norm in Europe. The legislation could improve environmental and market sustainability.
The list of products for which regulation under ESPR may have significant potential to reduce environmental impacts and enhance EU strategic autonomy includes:
- Eleven final products: textiles and footwear, furniture, tyres, bed mattresses, detergents, paints and varnishes, lubricants, cosmetics, toys, fishing gears, absorbent hygiene products.
- Seven intermediate products: iron and steel, commodity chemicals, non-ferrous, non-aluminium metal products, aluminium, plastic and polymers, pulp and paper, glass.
