The ESPR Working Plan 2025–2030 sets the order and tempo for ecodesign requirements across 22 product groups, each requiring a Digital Product Passport. Here’s what to expect and when.

Europe’s activities surrounding the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) are ramping up and will impact many products. The ESPR Working Plan 2025–2030 is the new operating system for that reality. It sets the order and tempo for ecodesign requirements for specific product groups and the obligation to report on those through Digital Product Passports (DPPs). Note that batteries — already covered by their own regulation — are not part of the ESPR.

What Product Groups are Impacted by the ESPR Working Plan?

Batteries were the first product group to require a Digital Product Passport — but under a dedicated Battery Regulation (EU 2023/1542), not the ESPR. The ESPR Working Plan 2025–2030 now defines 22 additional product groups, each set to receive a ‘Delegated Act’ containing specifics on data, governance, and technical requirements.
