Welcome to the ESPR preparatory study, impact assessment support study and EU Ecolabel criteria revision for furniture
This platform serves as the central information hub for the ongoing preparatory study and impact assessment supporting potential ecodesign requirements for furniture under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), alongside the revision of the EU Ecolabel criteria for furniture.
The project aims to assess the environmental impacts of furniture across its life cycle and identify policy options to improve product sustainability, including durability, reparability, recyclability and material efficiency.
This website also functions as the dedicated online platform for stakeholders interested in the revision of the EU Ecolabel criteria for furniture. Stakeholders are invited to follow project developments and actively contribute to the process.
Through this platform, you can:
• Stay informed about project progress and key milestones
• Access relevant documents and study outputs
• Register for stakeholder consultations, workshops and surveys
• Provide input to support evidence-based policy development
Your participation is essential to ensure that the outcomes of this project are robust, inclusive and aligned with market realities.
