@AnjaHirschel The EU's Ecodesign Directive is a set of rules that aim to reduce energy consumption, resource use and environmental impact of various products. It covers everything from light bulbs and refrigerators to vacuum cleaners and TV sets.

nnThe newest proposals for updates include making sure that certain household appliances last longer before they need to be replaced, so that consumers don't have to buy a new one as often. This will also reduce the amount of waste generated by these products over time.
