[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”886394″]The new EU Ecodesign Regulation will bring about significant changes in product design.<\/strong> The aim is to make sustainable products the norm, which reduces the burden on the environment and benefits consumers. In 2022, the European Commission presented a proposal for a new Ecodesign Regulation that goes beyond the previous Ecodesign Directive. While the latter focused primarily on the energy efficiency of electrical appliances, the new regulation aims to make almost all products recyclable<\/strong> and reduce environmental and climate impacts. On December 5, 2023, the European Parliament and the Council reached an agreement. The new Ecodesign Regulation replaces that of 2005 and also takes into account criteria such as durability, reuse, repairability, recyclability and energy and resource efficiency.<\/strong> The only exceptions are food and feed, medical devices, plant and animal products, vehicles and national security products. The regulations for the product groups are gradually being established by delegated acts. The work program for these acts will be published in the first nine months after the regulation comes into force and updated regularly. Prioritized product groups<\/strong> include iron & steel, aluminum (clothing & shoes), furniture (including mattresses), tires, detergents, lubricants, chemicals, data processing products and electronics<\/strong> . According to the current text, the first delegated acts may not be adopted until twelve months after the regulation comes into force. A ban on the destruction<\/strong> of unsold clothing and shoes will take effect two years after it comes into force. SMEs will be given longer transition periods, micro-entrepreneurs<\/strong> are exempt. The Commission can extend the ban to other product groups. The Ecodesign Regulation also intervenes in public procurement in order to lead to green procurement through implementing acts on technical specifications, award criteria, conditions for contract execution or targets. However, this must not result in disproportionate costs. A digital product passport will become mandatory. In addition to general product information, it will also contain disposal instructions to ensure that all actors along the value chain have relevant information on ecological sustainability.<\/p>\n We at Interzero are your competent contact for sustainability<\/strong> .
