The next barrier to EU market access is no longer just about tariffs or trade agreements. It is now tied to your ability to prove compliance with the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. If you export finished goods or components from India...
TL;DR Pick one clear goal first, retention, reuse, recycling, or resale. Don’t chase all four on day one. Accept only products you can collect, sort, and route somewhere real. Make returns easy, usually with WhatsApp, courier pickup, or drop-off, plu...
