EU Environmental Footprint Transition Phase Concludes in 2025

The Environmental Footprint Transition phase, initiated in 2019, is expected to conclude in 2025. This phase aimed to monitor implementation of existing PEFCRs (Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules) and OEFSRs (Organisation Environmental Footprint Sector Rules), develop new ones, and advance methodological developments integrating latest scientific findings. After the transition phase, the EF methods are expected to enter a phase of more stability and gradually wider application. Organizations using LCA-based Environmental Footprint methods should prepare for post-transition methodological stability and broader regulatory application.
