What we are working on

• Push for an ambitious EU strategy on circular construction;
• Influence the revision of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) to include progressive requirements on circularity, as well as strict limits on substances of concern;
• Contribute to the development of horizontal standardised methods for the assessment of the sustainability aspects of buildings and construction products under CEN/TC 350, in particular working on:
  • Assessing the Environmental performance of buildings (WG1);
  • Core rules for the environmental performance declaration of construction products (WG3);
  • the Framework for assessment of buildings and civil engineering works (WG7);
  • Sustainable refurbishment (WG8).

ECOS also works on Construction Product Standards using high-impact resources such as steel, cement and concrete, see our Energy Intensive Industries section for more information.
