Ecodesign for sustainable products

Ecodesign refers to the integration of environmental sustainability considerations into the characteristics of a product, and into processes throughout its value chain. On 30 March 2022, the European Commission put forward a proposal for a regulation establishing a framework for setting ecodesign requirements for sustainable products. The European Parliament is expected to vote on the report adopted by its Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) during the July plenary session. The report as voted would then form Parliament's position for negotiations with the Council, which has recently adopted its position.
