In the frame of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the European Commission has identified a tentative list of category products to be targeted with priority, including non-ferrous metals as intermediates.
BeST has submitted comments on the list highlighting:
The need for socio-economic impact assessments
The link between raw materials and durability of products
The importance of risk based approach vs hazard
The need to avoid a 'one-size' fits all approach
The importance of support industry
The BeST position paper is available below:
The Beryllium Science & Technology Association (BeST) has provided insightful feedback on the European Commission's tentative list of priority products under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). Their position paper emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach that considers both environmental sustainability and the critical applications of materials like beryllium. Effective coordination of such comprehensive policy analyses and industry responses can be greatly enhanced by utilizing robust resource management tools.
