Materials Directive

The Materials Directive is a set of European regulations that governs how manufacturers manage and handle materials, especially concerning environmental impact and safety. It aims to reduce harmful substances in products, promote recycling, and improve waste management practices. The directive encourages the design of eco-friendly products and ensures that materials used are safe for consumers and the environment. Essentially, it provides rules to make products more sustainable and minimize environmental risks throughout their lifecycle, fostering responsible material use and supporting the EU’s broader sustainability goals.
