What’s changing in 2025: Product-related environmental law and supply chain due diligence
In the area of product-related environmental law, 2025 will be characterized at European level by further implementation steps under the EU Battery Regulation, by preparations for the EU Packaging Regulation and probably by the progress of files that have already been initiated. At national level, some legal uncertainty is to be expected for the time being until the new Bundestag and the new federal government take up their work. Further developments relating to the implementation of due diligence obligations in Germany will certainly also depend heavily on the upcoming political developments, although certain lines are likely to be clear due to European legal requirements.
