Abstract

The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which aims to improve the environmental sustainability and circularity of products in the European market, entered into force in 2024. The objective of this report is to develop methods for defining classes of performance and the content of the future ESPR label. The report outlines a multi-step approach to select relevant product aspects and parameters appropriate for classes of performance, propose a method to develop classes of environmental performance based on the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) single score and the single impact category, and develop classes of performance for circularity aspects/parameters. Additionally, the report discusses the potential impacts of establishing classes of circularity and technical performances and the interaction of the ESPR label with other labels and the Digital Product Passport (DPP). The report also proposes a typology of information to be included in ESPR labels, ensuring that the labels effectively communicate the environmental sustainability and circularity of products to consumers and other economic actors. The methods developed aim to provide guidance for ongoing and future preparatory studies, supporting the ESPR's objective of improving the environmental sustainability and circularity of products on the European market.
