The Commission of the
European Union (EU) has released an extensive technical study of
possible eco‑design approaches that could be used to produce more
energy efficient computers and computer monitors.
The study, Preparatory Studies for Eco‑Design Requirements of EuPs,
is one of several developed for the Commission to assist manufacturers
in their efforts to comply with the essential provisions of the EU’s
energy using products (EuP) directive (2005/32/EC). The stated
objective of these studies “is to find out whether and which eco‑design
requirements could improve the environmental performance throughout the
(product’s) life cycle.”
