Rapporteur:

RoHS 2 addresses the waste hierarchy’s highest priority, waste prevention. Waste prevention includes measures that reduce the content of harmful substances in materials and products. Decreasing the amount of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic waste benefits the management of such waste as a result.

The functional economy (own-initiative opinion)

Opinion
Prijaté on 14/12/2016

INT/784-EESC-2016-00975-00-00-AC-TRA
Rapporteur: 
Thierry LIBAERT (Diversity Europe - GR III / France)

In this opinion, the EESC calls for society to begin an economic transition from over-exploitation of resources and a throw-away culture to a more sustainable, job-rich era, based on quality rather than quantity. In order to cope with the fundamental shift to a new economic model with major systemic consequences in many areas, it is recommended that a new cross-cutting and permanent body be set up in the EESC to analyse these developments.

Rapporteur: 
Cillian LOHAN (Diversity Europe - GR III / Ireland)

The EESC fully backs the objective of switching to a greener, resource-efficient and circular economy. It is happy to see that the Commission has come forward with a broader set of proposals covering all the stages of the product lifecycle compared to the previous circular economy package; however, it raises concern over the lower level of ambition, which is likely to lead to lower economic and environmental benefits.

Towards more sustainable consumption: industrial product lifetimes and restoring trust through consumer information

Opinion
Prijaté on 17/10/2013
Referenčné dokumenty: 
CCMI/112-EESC-2013-1904
Rapporteur: 
Mr. LIBAERT (Diversity Europe - GR III / France)
Co-rapporteur: 
Mr. HABER (Employers - GR I/France)

Planned obsolescence is associated with a form of industrial production that relies on a minimum renewal rate for its products. Although product renewal is necessary, certain abuses need to be addressed. The EESC would like to see a total ban on products with built-in defects designed to end the product's life.
