The European Union (EU) has recently presented several new legal proposals for promoting ecodesign and product labeling. The aim is to harmonize national practices and rules in the EU, to regulate issues like product lifetime and repairability in a more comprehensive way, to introduce new tools like digital product passports, and to introduce labeling schemes for repairability and durability. In parallel, the EU has proposed rules to regulate green claims and ecolabeling schemes to effectively address greenwashing. In this paper, we outline these rules, and discuss the challenges emerging for new eco-labeling schemes. We further discuss the challenges for a proposed new scheme for circular products: Certified to LAST.

摘要

The European Union (EU) has recently presented several new legal proposals for promoting ecodesign and product labeling. The aim is to harmonize national practices and rules in the EU, to regulate issues like product lifetime and repairability in a more comprehensive way, to introduce new tools like digital product passports, and to introduce labeling schemes for repairability and durability. In parallel, the EU has proposed rules to regulate green claims and ecolabeling schemes to effectively address greenwashing. In this paper, we outline these rules, and discuss the challenges emerging for new eco-labeling schemes. We further discuss the challenges for a proposed new scheme for circular products: Certified to LAST.
