About this publication
- BEUC and ANEC welcome the efforts made by the European Commission to develop new up-to-date Ecodesign and energy labelling requirements for computers. These products are important presence in the daily lives of consumers (especially laptops) and must still become more sustainable by design to limit their overall impact on the environment and on consumers’ pockets.
- Ecodesign measures for computers should take inspiration from those already adopted for smartphones and tablets, with a focus on increased durability, repairability and upgradability of devices.
- The new energy label for computers should be clear and simple and focus on the most important aspects that could influence consumers’ more sustainable choice.
- More transparency on the price of spare parts should be guaranteed, either through the repair score or a separate information requirement.
