ESPR stands for Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.
It's a new EU regulation that aims to make products sold in the European market more sustainable and circular. It expands upon the previous Ecodesign Directive by covering a wider range of products and focusing on aspects like durability, repairability, recyclability, and the use of recycled content.
A key element of the ESPR is the introduction of the Digital Product Passport (DPP), which will provide detailed information about a product's environmental and sustainability performance throughout its lifecycle.
The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is the digital representation of a physical item. It should be easily accessible via QR code or NFC. The DPP includes comprehensive information about the product, such as its composition, dimensions, and available spare parts.
Additionally, it provides details on the product's environmental impact, including its carbon footprint, energy efficiency, durability, repairability, and end-of-life recycling options.

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) affects a wide range of stakeholders throughout a product's lifecycle, which can be grouped into three main categories:
- Economic actors,
- Authorities,
-End users.
Economic actors include manufacturers , who are responsible for creating and updating the DPP for their products; importers, who must ensure that products from non-EU countries comply with DPP regulations; distributors, who provide consumers with access to DPP information, such as displaying a QR code on product packaging; resellers, who ensure that their customers have access to all relevant product information, including in distance selling; and circular economy operators like recyclers, repair companies, and reuse businesses, who use DPP information to optimize their activities and identify high-value reusable products.
Authorities include market surveillance authorities, who use the DPP to check product compliance with regulatory requirements and identify non-compliant products, and customs, who can use the DPP to control imported products and combat counterfeiting.
End users include consumers, who can access DPP information to make more informed purchasing decisions and choose more sustainable products, and professional users, such as businesses and organizations, who can use the DPP to better manage their purchases and ensure product sustainability.
In summary, the DPP is a tool that impacts all actors involved in the production, distribution, use, and recycling of products, aiming to create a more transparent and sustainable system for everyone.
