EU Commission adopts working plan for the Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Regulation

The 2025-2030 working plan for the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and Energy Labelling Regulation was adopted by the EU Commission. It provides the list of products that should be prioritised to introduce ecodesign requirements and energy labelling over the next five years. The priority products are steel and aluminium, textiles (with a focus on apparel), furniture, tyres and mattresses. These were selected based on their potential to deliver on the circular economy.

In addition, the Commission will introduce horizontal requirements on repairability for products such as consumer electronics and small household appliances. This will include the introduction of a repairability score for products with the most potential, and requirements on recyclability of electrical and electronic equipment.

Requirements will focus on product performance (minimum durability, minimum energy and resource-efficiency, availability of spare parts or minimum recycled content) and product information, including key product features such as the products' carbon and environmental footprint. Product information will mainly be made available via the Digital Product Passport.
The working plan continues the work that started on 16 energy-related products (such as dishwashers, electric motors, electric vehicle chargers or displays) from the 2022-2024 ecodesign and energy labelling working plan.
