- EU-27 ministers met last week to discuss the European Commission’s proposal for an EU regulation aimed at lowering the environmental impact of products by making them easier to repair, reuse and recycle.
- The regulation introduces a labelling system using a “digital product passport” that will guarantee the traceability of materials used for the production of goods and ensure full transparency for consumers who will be able to make more informed choices.
- At Thursday’s Council meeting, many EU ministers highlighted the potential of the digital product passport and the corresponding eco-design requirements.
