Ecodesign
for Sustainable Products Regulation:
Directive 2009/125/EC
On 30 March 2022, the Commission published a proposal for a new Ecodesign
for Sustainable Products Regulation to replace the Ecodesign Directive
2009/125/EC and improve the circularity, energy performance and sustainability
performance of almost all categories of products placed on the EU market.
Thus, the regulation will establish requirements for, among other things,
•
product durability, reusability, upgradability, and reparability,
•
presence of substances that inhibit circularity,
• energy and resource
efficiency,
• recycled content,
• remanufacturing and recycling,
• carbon and environmental footprints,
• information requirements,
including
a Digital Product Passport.
As a result of this regulation, the primary
energy savings could amount to 132 mtoe/150 billion cubic meters
of natural gas by 2030, which is almost equivalent to the EU’s import
of Russian gas.
