EU Commission Press release from 16/04/2025
Today, the European Commission adopted the 2025-2030 working plan for the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and Energy Labelling Regulation.
The plan provides a list of products that should be prioritised to introduce ecodesign requirements and energy labelling over the next five years. This will foster sustainable, repairable, circular and energy efficient products across Europe, in line with the Clean Industrial Deal and the Competitiveness Compass.
The priority products for ecodesign and energy labelling requirements 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.
Comment from ESF secretariat : As expected textiles are indeed included in the first priorities, however in the working plan there is no detail on what will be included in the scope of textiles. All information we have so far is that PPE will not be included. It is also mentioned that a study will be made on footwear by the end of 2027, so we will also have to follow that to ensure that PPE footwear are not included in that part neither.
