Sustainable Innovation & Design: Response to UK Sustainable Development
Strategy
The UK Sustainable Development Strategy [SDS] (see http://www.sustainable-development.gov.uk)
launched on 7th March 2005 highlighted a range of issues related to sustainable
products, design and innovation - see Chapter 3. This coupled with the
growing government interest in sustainable public procurement means that
creating, designing and developing products with lower material and energy
consumption will be of increasing importance. The Centre for Sustainable
Design (www.cfsd.org.uk)
will facilitate a second high-level, multi-stakeholder discussion on these
issues with the aim of 'adding value' to the emerging debate. Speakers
will comment on the strategy and their future visions for sustainable
innovation and design. The event will also see the regional launch of
www.o2uk.org - an informal network aimed at raising awareness of sustainable
design issues. The cost of the workshop will be £20.00 + VAT
Location: Farnham Castle International Briefing and Conference Centre, UK.

19th September 2005: Impact
of the New EuP Directive on Industry - Details
Directive
2005/32/EC establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements
for energy-using products has been published in the Official Journal on
the 6th July 2005 and becomes EU law on the 11th August 2005. Member states
have until the 11 August 2007 to transpose it into national law. A 3 year
working plan will be produced not later than the 6th July 2007 of "implementing
measures" setting specific standards for priority products. and giving
a list of products to be included under the framework. However the following
products have already been picked as very high priority and implementation
legislation is starting now to include these before that date. They are:
- Heating and water heating equipment,
- Electric motor systems
- Lighting in both the domestic and tertiary sectors
- Domestic appliances
- Office equipment in both the domestic and tertiary sectors
- Consumer electronics HVAC (heating ventilating air conditioning) systems;
This legislation will have a much more profound effect on industry than even the WEEE and RoHS as it requires companies to practice and document eco-design when launching their products. The workshop will cover the requirements of the EuP directive and the changes of processes and management systems that will be required by industry to meet those requirements.
