ForHeads of product compliance and sustainability at manufacturers and brands selling in the EU.
What’s changing, and when
The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation has been in force since July 2024, and each product group gets its own passport rules as they are adopted. The Commission launched the central passport registry on 20 July 2026, the same week the ban on destroying unsold clothing and footwear began. The first registry deadline, for certain large batteries, falls on 18 February 2027.

- Feb 2027 First registry deadline, for certain large batteries
Why it can’t happen in one step
Each product group arrives on its own timetable, and the data behind every passport sits with suppliers several tiers down who have to be brought on board one by one.
How Polymonial carries you across
- Product records that cannot be quietly changed, from supplier to shelf.
- Share supplier data with the parties entitled to it, secure for them alone.
- Your product data keeps up as each group's rules are set.
Trust that travels.
Secure, trusted and under your control.
