The entry into force of the ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation) is not only a legal challenge, but also a review and redesign of the value chain. The DPP (Digital Product Passport) alone is not enough; the EU Commission requires that the product be inherently circular (Article 5).
To best approach this transition, Matrec has developed a comprehensive, methodologically rigorous ESPR GAP Analysis specifically for various product sectors, particularly aimed at SMEs.
– The ESPR GAP Analysis methodology transforms regulatory complexity into a clear and precise action plan.
– The final result is a granular assessment of specific checkpoints, perfectly aligned with the Ecodesign priorities defined by the EU.

This analysis is structured according to the Product Life Cycle and is divided into four different phases.
1. PHASE I: Strategy and governance
2. PHASE II: Design for Circularity
3. PHASE III: Resource management and sourcing
4. PHASE IV: Data systems and DPP transparency

Each checkpoint is supported by legislative references and technical standards (ESPR, REACH, RoHS, ISO 14040, GS1), ensuring that the assessment is methodologically sound.
The ESPR Regulation will be implemented through Delegated Acts that will define specific requirements for each sector. A preliminary GAP Analysis is essential to anticipate the unique challenges facing your company.
