  • ECOS Newsletter – September 2026

    September has been busy: we released a new study demonstrating that targets for low-carbon concrete production in the EU could be 16 times higher, we focused on Green Public Procurement, which is receiving a lot of attention in the EU, and launched a new workstream bringing our network’s expertise to the agrifood sector. In Nairobi, the ECOS Africa team hosted a workshop to discuss how we can move towards a greener ICT value chain, bringing together African and European stakeholders for a dialogue on best approaches to advancing greener digitalisation. All this and more in this month’s Newsletter.

    In this month’s newsletter, we take a look at the current state of ecodesign in the EU – including ecodesign rules for apparel. We also have an update from our project to promote green digitalisation through knowledge exchange of standardisation and policy insights between experts in Europe and in Africa. Read on for this and more updates across the ECOS network – including new vacancies and calls for experts.

  • ECOS newsletter – October 2025

    This month we marked World Standards Day – a day to recognise and celebrate the collaborative efforts of thousands of experts worldwide who develop standards. We participated in important discussions on e-waste with our partners in Africa to mark International E-waste Day. We also celebrated the EU’s new Soil Monitoring Law this month and looked at opportunities to address environmental and social aspects together in the European Affordable Housing Plan.
