It's #WorldStandardsDay! Today we celebrate the collaborative efforts of thousands of experts worldwide who develop #standards.

A lack of #representation of diverse and relevant expertise from civil society organisations risks the adoption of #standards which may not be fit for purpose.

💡 Environmental stakeholders must be included for #standardisation to be effective.

🤝 Smooth collaboration between industry and civil society is the key to delivering #standards and EU policies that work for everyone and strengthen the #SingleMarket. Here’s how.

2024 was a year of action, impact, and progress for ECOS.

Here's a recap of how we brought meaningful solutions to big environmental challenges ⤵️🧵

🌹 Roses are red

🌳 Is it #greenwashing or is this love really true?

Trust is essential in any relationship.

Building trust between companies and consumers through transparent and honest communication should be the norm.

💘 A strong #GreenClaimsDirective could offer that.

Plastics in products have a huge impact on human #health and the #environment - yet they are not prioritised in the EU's new #ecodesign rules.

With @rethinkplastic.bsky.social, we outline the crucial reasons why #plastics should be prioritised in the first #ESPR working plan. 👇

Too many products are short-lived, disposable, inefficient, toxic, or unrepairable - but in Europe that's about to change!

🦸 New #ecodesign rules will help to make virtually all physical products in the EU more sustainable.
