The European Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) launched a package of measures in Europe to shape the transition to a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy. With the "Making Sustainable Products the norm" strategy, Europe is focusing on durability, repair, reuse, remanufacturing, recycling and disassembly in product design. The provision of trustworthy information on the sustainability of products and measures against greenwashing ensure that buyers receive the information they need to make the right product choice. The introduction of a right to repair promotes that defect products are rather repaired than replaced. Based on the CEAP several draft regulations have been published and are in the legislative process. New requirements for information for use are introduce as an important tool to enable sustainable product use. With the digital product passport, a new instrument is promoted also providing information for use.
