The European has introduced a new set of rules to combat environmental problems. Today, we will be looking at some of the changes that will be implemented within EU territory.
The Right to Repair
The European Commission has proposed a new way for consumers to repair products in a more cost-effective and easier way. This is to avoid products being replaced and increase the selling of more sustainable products, as well as promoting the repair of goods, reducing waste, saving money (consumers) and supporting European Green Deal goals.
The Commission’s proposal hopes to make repairing easy and accessible, with aims to reduce 35 million tons of waste, 30 million tons of resources and 261 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Consumers lose nearly €12 Billion annually when opting to replace products instead of repairing and reusing them. With the introduction of the new proposal, expectations show that the EU will grow and invest by €4.8 billion!
New rules to combat Greenwashing
The European Commission has also proposed new rules to combat greenwashing. Greenwashing is the act of providing the public/investors with misleading or false information about the environmental impact of a company’s products and operations. You could say it’s pretty much environmental fraud. Greenwashing (in the UK) is illegal and fines may be placed on companies that decide to Greenwash. The European Commission plans to prevent greenwashing by creating new opportunities for companies that actually improve their products environmental impact by preventing unfair competition and providing consumers with reliable information to make better informed choices.
Carbon Neutrality around the Globe
Cartridge World Cyprus has joined the growing list of companies that are going carbon neutral. Cartridge World Cyprus has made significant developments in achieving its environmental goals by doing so, offsetting the carbon impact of its business last year, including its own brand ink and toner cartridges! Since 2002, when it started operating, Cartridge World Cyprus has collected and reused over ¾ of a million ink and toner cartridges, achieving a zero-waste outcome.
The new Kyocera ECOSYS MA6000 series mono multifunction printers are also adding to the carbon neutral range. The MA6000 devices are part of the ECOSYS Series which stands for Ecology, Economy and Systems.
