Eco-design• ‘Eco-design’ means the integration of environmental aspects into
product design with the aim of improving the environmental performance of the [product] throughout its whole life cycle
[Eco-design Directive]
• The majority of environmental and cost impacts of a product are determined during the design phase.
Design phase

Design determines impacts throughout the life cycle of a product

Eco-design Directive
Former version:Directive 2005/32/EC of 6 July 2005 establishing a framework for the setting of eco-design requirements for energy-using products (EuP)
Current version:Directive 2009/125/EC of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of eco-design requirements for energy related products (ErP)

Eco-design Directive (2009/125/EC )• Common initiative from DG ENTR, DG ENER, DG ENV• Framework Directive which sets eco-design requirements (or
implementing measures/legislation) for Energy related Products. • Objectives:
• To improve the overall environmental performance of these products using an eco-design approach
• To ensure that disparities among national regulations do not become obstacles to intra EU trade)
• To contribute to the security of energy supply and enhance the competitiveness of the EU economy
• To preserve the interests of industry, consumers and other stakeholders
• Compliance through CE marking, i.e. products not fulfilling requirements will not be able to carry the ‘CE’ label

Implementing measures• Could be proposed for product categories which:
• Represent a significant volume of products placed on the EU market (indicatively > 200.000 units/year)
• Involve a significant environmental impact• Present a significant potential for improvement
• Are to be based on• Environmental assessments / relevant product characteristics
and functionality• Products and technologies available on the market should be
taken as reference
• IM should preserve the interests of industry, consumers and other stakeholders, but do add an administrative and testing burden on SMEs

SMEs and eco-design• Awareness about eco-design
• Limited or no knowledge (depends on the product sector)• Misconception about the possible impacts (especially economic)• Resource constraints• Rewards and penalties
• Push towards eco-design• Policy driven (EuP/ErP, eco-labels, energy labels, GPP, etc.)• Market driven (Purchasers specifications, consumer demand,
etc.)• Technology driven (upstream/downstream integration)

SMEs and eco-design Directive• Addresses mass produced products, not one-off products• SMEs can be affected directly by Eco-design as manufacturers (e.g.
Small heating products), but otherwise indirectly as suppliers of components and sub-assemblies or installers
• Getting involved in process:• register as stakeholders and engage in the preparatory studies
by providing information and feedback and participating in stakeholder consultations
• prepares you for future regulation, but does involve significant time, e.g. answering questionnaires, reviewing technical documents in English, travelling to stakeholder meetings, etc.
• use industry and trade associations to keep updated on what is relevant and make sure they voice your concerns
• Ensuring compliance

Eco-design – An opportunity for SMEs• Systematic approach to understanding environmental impacts during
a product’s lifetime can lead to competitive advantage:• Market demands• Often related to cost savings • Prepared for future regulation• New opportunities
• Implementing eco-design in SMEs• Simple eco-design tools and methodologies do exist, e.g.
Ecodesign Guide (www.kp.man.dtu.dk/English/Research/areas/Ecodesign/guide.aspx)
• Local and regional working groups can support, e.g. www.lecreer.eu
• A variety of conferences, workshops, training materials, publications, mentoring programmes and consultants can also assist , e.g. www.ecodesignarc.info, www.ecosmes.net, ecodesign-info.eu

Outlook• ErP - A preparatory study has been launched for water-using
products by JRC
• New eco-design working plan to be prepared by October 2011
• BIO has made a first contribution for a eco-design working plan
• Additional studies will be launched in relation to the preparation of the working plan
• Energy consumption and energy efficiency has been the main focus of all product categories so far
• A broader range of environmental impacts is expected to be considered in the future
