ECOS has submitted its views on two newly planned EU legislative initiatives to empower consumers for the “green transition” and for better “substantiated green claims”– two key pieces in the Circular Economy Action Plan and the New Consumer Agenda.
Responding to a series of EU consultations on infrastructure policy and the EU's vision on sustainable mobility by 2050, ECOS presented its views on the need for direct electrification.
ECOS sent comments in response to the release of the first two draft reports of the preparatory study that will inform future ecodesign requirements for smartphones and tablets
On 1 September, representatives from EU member states formally approved the legal means to tether caps and lids to plastic bottles of up to three litres. It is the official starting signal for a two to three-year process in CEN to develop a standard that will allow the caps and lids requirement of the Single-Use Plastics Directive to be effective from day one.
Proposing 55% as the goal for greenhouse emissions reduction by 2030 is a step in the right direction, but it is not enough. The European Commission should show global leadership with 65% and set an example for decisive action to tackle the climate emergency.
We are looking for a highly motivated Programme Manager to join our Circular Economy team. The Programme Manager will manage our activities to limit the environmental impact of plastics, and chemicals in products to drive a circular economy.
Health and safety of our participants is a priority for us. This is why we decided to move our event online, so that everyone can join from the comfort of their home or office. Would you like to join us on 29 September? Fill in the form below!
