Why start in 2026

Your suppliers will need 12–18 months.

Wood origin, FSC chain-of-custody, recycled foam percentages, flame-retardant certificates — none of this lives in your ERP. It lives with your suppliers, who need time to gather and submit it. Brands that begin supplier data collection in 2026 will have clean data when the delegated act lands. Start free, build the structure now, fill in the rest as suppliers deliver.

FAQ

Furniture DPP questions, answered.

When does the furniture DPP requirement come into effect?

Furniture and mattresses are in the first ESPR Working Plan 2025–2030 (adopted April 2025). Delegated act adoption is expected 2028, with compliance starting approximately 18 months later — so mid-2029 to 2030 for most products. Start preparing supplier data now; manufacturers report 12–18 months to collect upstream material data.

Does the ESPR furniture rule apply to small craft makers?

Yes. ESPR has no SME exemption. Whether you make one wooden chair a week or ship 50,000 sofas per year, products placed on the EU market need a DPP once the furniture delegated act applies. The Commission has committed to proportionate implementation but the obligation itself is universal.

What furniture data is expected in a DPP?

Expected fields based on the working plan: material composition (wood species, foam type, fabric content), origin of raw materials, repair instructions, spare-parts availability, flame retardants used, recycled content percentages, expected service life, take-back/recycling channels, and CE marking where applicable.

Does this include mattresses and bedding?

Yes — mattresses are explicitly named alongside furniture in the working plan. The category includes upholstered furniture, beds and mattresses, wooden furniture, office furniture, and outdoor furniture. Lighting and decorative objects are scoped under separate ESPR categories.
