"EuP Ecodesign Preparatory Study - Computers and Monitors

Welcome to the EcoComputer website. The aim is to share information with 
stakeholders.

This preparatory study is linked to the Ecodesign directive for EuP 
(energy using products) 2005/32/EC, and is the fist step in considering 
whether and which eco-design requirements should be established for 
computers and monitors. It will identify and recommend ways to improve 
the life-cycle environmental performance of the product in the design 
phase. The methodology described by VHK in the methodology report 
(MEEuP) will be followed.

The Industrial Research and Development Corporation (IVF) is responsible 
for the study, which will be carried out in cooperation with TCO 
development and the Swedish Environmental Research Institute Ltd. (IVL). 
Many experts in different fields will be co-opted from these 
organisations. The project group includes experts on electronics (design 
and manufacturing), business, eco-design, life cycle assessment, market 
trends and technology.

We cannot do the study on our own. We need a lot of contributions from 
the stakeholders to get enough valid information to build on. Please 
contact us if you think you can contribute!

This website and what is written here, is our work. It is not the 
opinion of the Commission.
