Eco-design Workshop

Designing Products with Material Efficiency in Mind: An Overview of the EU's Ecodesign Directive and ComplyMarket's Eco-Design Workshop for Material Efficiency Standards

The European Union's Ecodesign Directive (Directive 2009/125/EC) establishes a framework to set mandatory ecological requirements for energy-using and energy-related products sold in all 27 member states. Material efficiency standards are a set of standards that enable manufacturers to design their products from the beginning to be compliant with the Ecodesign Directive.

The ComplyMarket team can train your company to understand and implement the requirements of the material efficiency standards. The agenda includes:

1. Introduction to the material efficiency Eco-design standard.
2. Regulatory framework of material efficiency Eco-design.
3. Improving product design regarding Material efficiency.
4. Requirements of material efficiency Eco-design standard:
