2-7. EU-KOREA ECODESIGN FORUM POLICY SESSION(ENG)

Описание: Panel Discussion

The EU–Korea Eco-Design Cooperation Forum was successfully held from 2 to 3 July 2025 at COEX Magok, Seoul, as a main event of the 2025 Circular Economy Festival.
Co-hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) and the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Korea, the Forum gathered over 600 policymakers, business leaders, researchers, and civil society representatives to deepen cooperation on sustainable product design and digital innovation, including the Digital Product Passport (DPP).

Co-organised by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH) and the EU–Korea Green Partnership Programme, the Forum provided a platform to exchange policy practices in the EU and Korea, share technological solutions, and explore industrial cooperation in the fields of eco-design and the DPP.

The Forum spotlighted the European Union’s pioneering Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), adopted in July 2024, to improve the sustainability of products placed on the EU market by enhancing their circularity, energy performance, recyclability and durability. 
Korea, under its 1st Basic Plan for Resource Circulation and “K-Eco Design” initiatives, is also accelerating efforts to transition to a low-carbon, circular economy.
