ECOS Newsletter – September 2023

Incompatible products that are not built to last, labelled with dubious and unsubstantiated green claims should be relegated to the past. This month we are celebrating advances to ban greenwashing, ’climate neutral’ claims and new rules that support longer-lasting and more repairable electronic products. We’ve also seen the global impact of the universal charger standards with Apple announcing its first phones with the new USB-C standard across international markets. Simplifying products for consumers and reducing resource consumption and e-waste creation.
