Sustainable Products 4 Life
SustainableProducts4LIFE is a partnership between environmental organisations (ECOS and the EEB) and consumer organisations (BEUC and ANEC). Co-funded by the EU’s LIFE Programme, the project reinforces environmental and consumer perspectives in EU ecodesign and energy labelling policies and related standards, including the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). Civil society voices must be heard when rules on energy efficiency and circularity are developed, to make them better for consumers and the environment.
