Position paper - Ecodesign consultation on priority product groups

The European Commission proposal on Ecodesign for Sustainable Products (ESPR) rightly aims to create a Single Market for sustainable products and improve access to sustainability information through the Digital Product Passport (DPP). The regulation will only be successful if it ensures full harmonisation across Member States and drives European industry’s competitiveness. To this aim, the Commission should maintain the regulation's product-specific approach and consider product performance as an integral part of product sustainability.
