ECOS works to promote preparation for reuse and material-efficient recycling in policies and standards, at the same time making sure that waste prevention strategies are prioritised. Our aim is to achieve appropriate waste management and prevent landfilling or incineration of valuable resources.

ECOS campaigns for an ambitious implementation of the ecodesign & energy labelling policies, which is vital for the success of the circular and clean energy agendas.

Our goal is to ensure an effective participation of the environmental voice in a more transparent and inclusive standardisation system resulting in standards fit to support EU policy objectives and environmental challenges.

ECOS works to cut our global plastic footprint and ensure clean material loops in a circular plastics economy by engaging in standards and related policy developments.

ECOS works to reduce GHG emissions from the transport sector through increased market-share of electric vehicles (EVs) and their proper integration into the electricity grid. To this end, electromobility infrastructure should be smart, interoperable, secure and cost-effective.

Standards can help define, assess, manage and disclose the contribution of investments and financing activities to the achievement of long-term climate goals. ECOS works to make sure that they contribute to the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
