Ecodesign, an EU success story, is expanding. More products than ever will soon be designed from the outset with sustainability in mind — a development that will be good for the environment and consumers. But how? And when? The Ecodesigned4LIFE project consortium, ECOS, BEUC, and ANEC, break it down.
We are excited to welcome a new member to the ECOS Network: Earthworks is an organisation focused on preventing the destructive impacts of the extraction of oil, gas, and minerals.

Until now, vehicles have been a model for repairability, often in operation for decades. This is rapidly changing due to overly restrictive vehicle design requirements that prevent more sustainable options, more electronic components, and less access to low-cost spare parts. How could a new EU regulation help the automotive sector make a U-turn?
We have a number of open calls for experts across various topics. Our experts provide us with technical and scientific input and represent ECOS in standardisation processes and multi-stakeholder discussions. ECOS experts can participate in technical meetings for standardising bodies, such as CEN/CENELEC or ISO or prepare technical input for ECOS position papers and our responses to consultations.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) provides a foundation for more sustainable packaging but leaves too much room for voluntary adoption. For a stronger commitment to reducing packaging waste, we need Member States to go beyond the minimum requirements of the regulation. It will be crucial to adopt ambitious secondary legislation and standards that will address sustainable waste management, helping the much-needed shift towards more sustainable packaging.
