WHAT IS ECO-DESIGN?
The environmental impacts of Energy-using Products take various forms, such as energy consumption and related negative contribution to climate change, consumption of materials and natural resources, waste generation and release of hazardous substances. Eco-design, which means the integration of environmental considerations at the design phase, is arguably the best way to improve the environmental performance of products.
The creation of a coherent framework for environmental product policy avoids the adoption of uncoordinated measures that could lead to an overall negative result; for example eliminating a toxic substance from a product, such as mercury from lamps, might lead to increased energy consumption, which on balance would have a negative impact on the environment. A Community framework also ensures that no divergent national or regional measures that could hinder the free movement of products and reduce the competitiveness of businesses are taken.
