Frequently asked questions
Who is subject to the ESPR destruction ban?
Large enterprises that sell apparel, clothing accessories, or footwear on the EU market are subject to the destruction ban from 19 July 2026. Medium-sized enterprises become subject from 19 July 2030. Micro and small enterprises are exempt from the ban, but they must still take reasonable steps to prevent destruction (Article 23) and must not destroy products passed to them to get around the ban (Article 25(2)).
What is the ESPR disclosure obligation?
Article 24 of the ESPR requires large enterprises, and medium-sized enterprises from 19 July 2030, to publish each year the number and weight of unsold consumer products they discard by category, the reasons and any derogation relied on, the share sent to reuse, recycling, other recovery and disposal, and the measures taken and planned to prevent destruction. The standardised Annex I format applies from 2 March 2027 (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2).
