European Environmental Product-Oriented Policy

The sustainable development of our societies is one of the priorities of the European Commission. Through the Integrated Product Policy (IPP) the EC has developed measures that influence the supply and the demand of environmentally sound products. The IPP is focused on how the environmental performance of products can be improved most cost-effectively, considering the impacts of products throughout their life-cycle, from natural resources extraction, through use and distribution, to end of life. There is no single policy tool that can be used to encourage the greening of all products at all stages of the life cycle, but a combination of a number of policy instruments - both voluntary and mandatory - that can be used to achieve this objective. These include measures such as economic instruments, substance bans, voluntary agreements, environmental labelling and product design guidelines.
