EN 45554

EN 45554 is a European standard aimed at enhancing the sustainability of products by assessing their ability to be repaired, reused, or recycled. It sets guidelines for evaluating the environmental impact of products throughout their lifecycle, focusing on aspects like material recovery, ease of disassembly, and availability of spare parts. This standard encourages manufacturers to design products that are not only efficient and functional but also environmentally friendly, promoting a circular economy where resources are conserved, waste is minimized, and products can have a longer lifespan through effective reuse and recycling practices.
