Eco-design Directive

The Eco-design Directive is an EU regulation aimed at improving the environmental performance of products throughout their lifecycle. It encourages manufacturers to design products that are more energy-efficient, use less material, and are easier to recycle. This initiative targets various sectors, particularly energy-related ones, to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact. By setting specific requirements, the directive helps ensure that products are not only functional and affordable but also sustainable, driving innovation and promoting greener choices for consumers. Ultimately, it supports the transition to a more sustainable economy.
