The brochure will be available again only approximately from the year 2025 after a revision.
Among the general public, there is a growing awareness of the environmental impacts of products and escalating demands on companies to take environmental action through their products. As a result, product-related environmental information is becoming ever more important.
The aims of this brochure are to:
- provide an objective overview of the opportunities and tools for product-related environmental information, with a particular focus on the voluntary approaches available to companies alongside the mandatory information required by law.
- outline reporting tools available for collating environment-related data over a product’s lifecycle.
- define the fundamental requirements associated with standardisation and the statutory regulations on product-related environmental information.
- help companies select a suitable tool for their particular application, and
- guide consumers through the various different levels.
