With the pioneering provisions for product repairability and recyclability introduced by the “Ecodesign Package” this year, Europe is making sure that our products last longer and are more efficient. Fridges, TV displays, dishwashers, washing machines and many other products we use every day are regulated through ecodesign – and the recently published European Green Deal suggests similar provisions will be developed for other products.
The European Green Deal paves the way for reforms aimed at turning Europe into a circular and zero carbon economy. Repairable and longer-lasting products must be part of this strategy, say NGOs united under the Right to Repair and Coolproducts campaigns.
The EU has recently paved the way for longer-lasting products. Now we must enshrine this ambition into our future European Green Deal, Coolproducts campaigners wrote in a letter to the incoming European Commission this week.
