In order to achieve the EU’s 2050 climate neutrality target, the European Commission is planning to announce new initiatives addressing the entire life cycle of products. The objective is a design of products that allows circularity, the promotion of circular economy processes and sustainable consumption, and the initiatives should ensure that waste is prevented and that the resources used remain in the EU economy for as long as possible. The Sustainable Products Initiative, which is expected to be published in December 2021, is a cornerstone of the EU’s endeavours to create a circular economy. It will include rules for setting requirements on mandatory sustainability labelling and/or disclosure of information to market actors along value chains in the form of a digital product passport. Join this EURACTIV Virtual Conference to discuss the EU's Circular Economy Action Plan and whether its new initiatives, such as the digital product passport, will achieve the transparency for products that policymakers are looking for. And how easy will it be for industry, big and small, to comply with?
