Come to our online workshop on the standardisation of repairability, hosted by ECOS and ANEC for their members and other stakeholders involved in ecodesign and energy labelling. This event is part of the reaLIFEstandards project.
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?
The repairability of vehicles is declining - and we want to change that. ECOS has signed a joint statement on repair in the proposed EU regulation on circularity requirements for vehicle design and on management of end-of-life vehicles. We call for stronger provisions for repair and reuse to strengthen consumers’ choice, local jobs and businesses, and European strategic autonomy, as well as ensure compliance with the waste hierarchy and reduce environmental strain.
Join our webinar on the importance of repair for a sustainable future. Register now to secure your spot and gain valuable insights! This event will take place on 9 November 2023 at 10:00-11:00am (CET). It is organised by ECOS, in cooperation with Right to Repair Europe and Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH).
Meant to prevent greenwashing by giving consumers reliable environmental information on products, the proposal falls short of its original ambition and fails to offer a robust, harmonised methodology for calculating environmental impacts.
On 30 March, the European Commission published its much-awaited Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Working Plan 2022-2024, which sets out the priorities for the implementation of this EU policy. The plan includes bright prospects for new rules that will drive further energy savings, and stresses the need to make up for the delays in the development of regulations for several products.
Batteries have a crucial role to play in supporting renewable energy and decarbonising transport. However, they do come at a cost to the environment. In a new ECOS report, we set out our recommendations for the EU Battery Regulation and the European Commission’s Standardisation Request M/579.
