The European Commission has launched a public consultation on proposals to improve the longevity and energy efficiency of computers. It invites representatives of businesses and end-users of computers in EU member states to fill out a survey (select Latvian language), available on the European Commission's website, by July 18.
The opinions gathered from businesses and residents during the public consultation will help the European Commission develop regulations that promote the sustainability and efficiency of computers.
The European Commission plans to develop new ecodesign regulations to ensure the durability and recyclability of computers and to meet minimum energy and material efficiency requirements. Additionally, new energy labeling regulations will be developed to promote more informed consumer choices and competition among manufacturers to create better and more sustainable products.
Simultaneously, the European Commission aims to identify the most pressing issues in different computer models related to technological advancements, energy consumption, and material availability.
