In March, the European Commission presented an ambitious package of regulatory proposals to implement its Circular Economy Action Plan. The proposal for a Regulation on Ecodesign for Sustainable Products (ESPR) extends ecodesign to a broad range of sectors, including textiles and construction products, finally addressing negative environmental impacts embedded in products by design. However, work needs to be done so that the package lives up to its full potential.
Representatives from the European Commission, the UN high-level group on net-zero, independent experts. the private sector, and civil society, will exchange on current and upcoming initiatives aiming to ensure that ‘green claims’ are clear, specific, and reliable.
Our 2022 Annual Conference will be a unique opportunity to discuss how to ensure the new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation lives up to its full potential, and to finally make sustainable products the norm everywhere.
The European Commission’s Standardisation Strategy is a key opportunity to ensure standards work for the environment! Can the newly released plan ensure an inclusive and strategic standardisation system in support of high environmental ambition? Will Europe become the trend-setter in standardisation?
The effective participation of environmental NGOs in standards-making is key to making sure our planet is protected by robust rules. We co-organised a workshop with our member GLOBAL 2000 to look into how to make this engagement possible in Austria and took a deep-dive into the field of reuse & refill.
