ECOS has issued a favourable opinion on the final draft Technical Report TR 45550, putting an end to the first generation of material efficiency deliverables developed under the CEN-CENELEC Joint Technical Committee 10 “Energy-related products - Material Efficiency Aspects for Ecodesign”.
The transition period for introducing new energy labels for dishwashers, fridges, freezers, washing machines, washer driers, electronic displays and TVs is kicking off. Appliance suppliers will start sending the new energy labels to retailers as of 1 November. For the next four months, however, shops will continue displaying old labels – as of 1 March 2021 retailers will have two weeks to replace them all with new ones.
ECOS is looking for a motivated Finance & Admin Assistant to support the work of our Operations Team
ECOS seeks to commission a study exploring the use and meaning of labels used on plastic products worldwide. With this work, ECOS intends to assess the relevance, credibility, comparability, and the understanding among consumers of these labels and environmental claims.
We are looking for a highly motivated Programme Manager to join our Climate & Energy team, with a particular focus on the field of Ecodesign and Energy Labelling.
Every year, on 14 October we celebrate World Standards Day. But this time is special: the celebrations centre on how standards can help protect our planet. At ECOS, we believe that standards are essential tools to prevent a climate breakdown, which is why we have been advocating for environmentally ambitious standards for nearly 20 years.
ECOS is looking for experts in the field of Plastics Recycling to represent and defend environmental interests in the development of standards and related policies. Our experts provide us with technical and scientific input and represent ECOS in standardisation processes and multi-stakeholder discussions.
