Yes. Mattresses are a priority product group under the ESPR and require a Digital Product Passport.
Is furniture treated the same way?
Furniture follows a phased approach, with requirements introduced through delegated acts.
Why are mattresses prioritized?
Due to material intensity, waste impact, recyclability challenges, and established EU policy focus on mattress waste streams.
