ECODESIGN in the EEE sector
There is worldwide demand for more efficient and sustainable products to reduce energy and resource consumption. The EU’s sustainable product policy, ecodesign legislation and energy labelling are effective tools for improving the energy efficiency and sustainability of products. They help eliminate the least performing products from the market and support industrial competitiveness and innovation by promoting the better environmental performance of products throughout the internal market.
‘Ecodesign’ means the integration of environmental aspects into product design with the aim of improving the environmental performance of the product throughout its whole life cycle.
Ecodesign & Labelling
The Ecodesign Directive provides consistent EU-wide rules for improving the environmental performance of energy-related products, which is then complemented by the Energy Labelling Regulation.
