Draft Criteria for Sustainable Use of Resources Webinar

Описание: This webinar reviews the draft criteria for Sustainable Use of Resources and provides the rationale behind the criteria. The Sustainable Use of Resources criteria addresses lifecycle considerations that advance circularity and conservation of resources, including:

• Metals and plastics recycled content, including critical and rare earth metals
• Product longevity and access to repair services
• Product design for reuse and recycling
• Secure data deletion
• Responsible end-of-life management
• Packaging; and
• Water and waste management upstream in the supply chain.

In addition to establishing threshold requirements for products, packaging, and services, the criteria increase transparency through requirements for disclosures on product composition and services, for example, to enhance purchaser choice. The Sustainable Use of Resources criteria is globally relevant, with the incorporation of various internationally recognized best practices.
