Eco-design requirements for energy-using products (EuP)

A general dossier organised by EurActiv with information about the Eco-Design Directive.

The EU's Eco-design Directive seeks to make the design of energy-using products such as hairdryers, computers, fridges or office equipment more environmentally friendly. In future, energy performance requirements can also be imposed on products which have an indirect impact on energy consumption during use, such as window frames and water taps.
