Ecodesign is a systematic and comprehensive approach to the environmentally sound design of products. Appliances with high electricity or water consumption, for example, and/or are found in a large proportion of households can contribute significantly to overall resource consumption. The aim of ecodesign requirements is therefore to improve the environmental performance of energy-related products.
