Ecodesign Framework: Small Appliances under EU Directive 2023/826

The European Union has introduced Directive (EU) 2023/826 as part of its commitment to advance the circular economy, improve resource efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

This directive — an update to the existing ecodesign framework — reflects the EU’s strategic shift toward making products more durable, repairable, energy efficient and environmentally sustainable.

The directive aims to reduce the environmental footprint of millions of everyday appliances in the European market by expanding ecodesign requirements beyond energy efficiency to include product longevity, reusability and recyclability.
