Ecodesign Richtlijn (EC/125/2009)

• EU Interne markt wetgeving: geharmoniseerde

productwetgeving verhinderen ‘marktfragmentatie’

• Kaderrichtlijn = mandaat aan EC voor ‘Implementing Measures’

• Stemming ‘Regulatory Committee’ (Lidstaat experten)

• Minimum milieu-eisen ‘Energy related Products’ (ErP)

• Marktoezicht door de Lidstaten.

• Levenscyclus denken vermijdt ‘burden shifting’

bvb. beter materiaal gebruik ten koste van energie-efficiëntie

• Eisen corresponderend met Least Life Cycle Coast (LLCC)

Verplichtingen fabrikanten en importeurs

• Ontwerp en fabriceer in overeenstemming met ecodesign

eisen

• Voer overeenstemmingsprocedure uit (zelf-evaluatie is

de standaard regel)

• Verzamel technische documentatie

• Gebruik geharmonizeerde normen gepubliceerd in OJEU

voor veronderstelling overeenstemming (zoniet transitory

measures, guidance commission, …)

• Breng CE markering aan en stel verklaring van

overeenstemming op

14 “Non-energy related issues” ? Beleidsfocus op energiezekerheid en Klimaat

energieverbruik tijdens de gebruiksfase

‘non-energy’ eisen anecdotisch:

• ‘Efficiency bonus’ for low GWP refrigerants

• ELVs on NOX, CO and PM for boilers

• Limit on Mercury in lamps

• Lead declaration in TVs

• Water use in washing machines

• Durability of lamps (number of switching cycles; operating time)

• Durability of vacuum cleaners (motor operating time)

• Warning non-replaceable battery notebooks

• Noise ventilation units, vacuum cleaners

• Default duplex printing, remanufacture of cartridges … (Imaging

equipment)

• Consumer information on maintenance


“Non-energy related issues”: Informatie naar de consument (wisselstukken, repareerbaarheid)

Functionaliteitseisen (kwaliteitseisen bewaken waar nodig)

• Vroegtijdig falen

• Verminderde prestaties bij veroudering

Informatie naar recycleurs

• ‘plastics marking’ inclusief additieven en brandvertragers

• tijd voor manuele voorbehandeling, …

Minimum eisen

• gebruiksduur, herstelbaarheid, gerecycleerde materialen,…

• polymeer samenstelling, recycleerbaarheid plastics, …

• reversibele desassemblage

15


Mogelijkheden introductie ‘non-energy

related issues’ in Ecodesign • Herziening IM (Electronic displays 2017 ?)

• Nieuwe IM EuP (Commercial Refrigeration 2018 ?)

• Nieuwe IM ErP (Windows, taps and showers 2019 ?)

• ‘horizontal measure’ (zoals bvb standby 2020 ?)

Gefaseerde 2-traps invoer:

• starten met informatie-eis,

• vervolgens minimumeis toevoegen.

‘Voluntary Agreements’ (VA) meer ruimte voor ‘non-energy related

issues’ omdat eisen en markttoezicht anders georganiseerd worden

16


Recyclage en Ecodesign: Hoe en waarom ?

Informatie over disassemblage (coherent met WEEE), hergebruik en

recyclage (bvb plasticsmarkering) en de product samenstelling

(coherent met REACH) is relevant voor recycleurs om efficiënter

en veiliger te kunnen recycleren.

Technologische ontwikkeling EoL = design + 10 jaar ?

• Recyclage manueel of machinaal of beide ?

• Automatisatie ?

Complexiteit van de afvalstroom:

• nieuwere en oudere producten van verschillende merken

• verschillende productgroepen ?

17


Mogelijkheden efficiënt recycleren

in Ecodesign Standaarden plasticmarkering en controle via labotesten mogelijk

Standaarden ontbreken Moeilijk of niet mogelijk om wettelijke

eisen vast te stellen die controleerbaar zijn.

De Europese standaardisatieorganisaties ontwikkelen de komende

jaren standaarden om het disassemblage, hergebruik en recyclage

potentieel, de repareerbaarheid en duurzaamheidsaspecten van

producten te evalueren.

Herziening Televisies EC overweegt

•Minimum ‘extraction time’ voor PCB conductors en matrix panel

•Kwikvrij logo

•Plastics marking

•recyclability rate index of plastic parts

22


Marking of plastic parts

From [DATE] manufacturers shall, if sufficient space is available

after inclusion of the safety-related information, mark plastic parts

with a mass larger than 100g by specifying the typology of plastic

polymer or blend set between the punctuation marks “>” and “<”.

Plastic parts with a mass larger than 100g may include in the

specified typology information related to:

(i) the presence of fillers.

(ii) the presence of fire retardant in plastic parts

23


Polymer compostion requirements (1/2)

From [DATE] manufacturers shall ensure that

plastic parts with a mass greater than 100 grams consist of one

single polymer or polymer blend.

all plastic parts with a mass greater than 100 grams consist of no

more than four separable polymers or polymer blends, as indicated

in table x in Annex XX.

The following shall be excluded :

- packaging, tape, plastic protective and stretch wraps, labels;

[PRODUCT] shall be higher than 80% .

The recyclability rate index of plastic parts in [PRODUCTS] shall be

determined in accordance with the following equation:

Where:

Rplastic = recyclability rate index of plastic parts [%]

mi = mass of the ith plastic part heavier than 100g

mtot = total mass of plastic parts heavier than 100g

RCRi = recycling rate of the material used in the ith plastic part

heavier than 100g [%] as specified in the table :

25


Information requirements on recycled

content of plastics (1/2) From [DATE] the manufacturer or importer shall make information

available on the minimum percentage of postconsumer recycled

plastic content in the [PRODUCT], calculated as a percentage of

total plastic weight of the plastic components with a mass > 100g.

To allow appropriate updating the following information shall be

declared on the free access website. The same information may be

declared in the product information if the date of manufacture is

given.

The manufacturer or importer shall declare “Not applicable” the

product was intended to be placed on the market for less than 18

months, all plastic parts have a mass ≤ 100g.

26


Information requirements on recycled

content of plastics (2/2) Recycled content shall be assessed on the production period of 1

year within the last 18 months (immediately following any previous

such dates) based on traceability of post-consumer recycled plastic

supply and an overall allocation and mass balance of plastic

provided by the manufacturer. Recycled content is a property of

average production output rather than of individual products and it

can’t be tested on a product.

1st Tier suppliers shall be included other suppliers may be included

via signed declarations.
