The European Commission has developed the Energy-Efficient Products Portal, aimed at promoting sustainable consumption and helping consumers make informed decisions regarding energy-efficient products. This platform can serve as a helpful tool for anyone looking to choose energy-efficient products, save money, and reduce harmful environmental impacts.
Considering the need to address climate change, reduce energy consumption, and mitigate environmental damage, the EU Energy-Efficient Products Portal is designed as a centralized source of information where consumers and businesses can access valuable resources and tools to support the transition to energy-efficient solutions.
On the portal, you can find:
- A product database where consumers can browse and compare products based on energy efficiency ratings, while manufacturers and distributors can find descriptions of eco-design and energy labeling requirements.
- Guidelines and tips for saving energy and reducing carbon footprints, helping to adopt a sustainable lifestyle.
- Information on the latest EU legislation.
- Interactive tools, including a calculator for estimating energy consumption and calculating cost savings.
Additionally, this June, the European Commission updated the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL) website. EPREL is an essential tool that provides reliable information about product energy efficiency, supporting the EU's goals of reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
The EPREL website is now more user-friendly, with intuitive navigation and an improved design. The updated site offers useful features and information for both consumers (information resources and tips, comparison tools) and manufacturers and suppliers (comprehensive guides and training, simplified registration, integration of digital product passports).
We encourage you to visit these sites to find useful information and learn how small choices can make a big difference!
