INTRODUCTION
The Strategic EU Ecolabel Work Plan 2020-2024 is the operational tool for the planning andthe management of activities related to the EU Ecolabel scheme foreseen by Art. 7.4 of the
EU Ecolabel Regulation. It is aimed for the European Commission (EC) services, national
Competent Bodies (CBs) and stakeholders involved in the implementation of the scheme.
The Plan is a non-binding rolling document that may be updated by the EC services in thecourse of its implementation.

1. THE EU ECOLABEL GOAL, OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIC ACTIONSThe EU Ecolabel, established in 1992, is a voluntary label of environmental excellence. It is
promoting goods and services with reduced environmental impacts all over their life-cycle,
when compared with products in the same product group existing on the European market. In
doing so, the scheme contributes to making consumption and production more sustainable.
The new Circular Economy Action Plan1 recognizes the valuable role of EU Ecolabel criteria
to inspire mandatory legislation and prescribes the systematic inclusion of circular economy
aspects in the EU Ecolabel criteria. By encouraging producers, depending on the productgroup, to efficiently use raw materials, generate less waste and CO 2 during the manufacturing
process, use less hazardous chemicals and develop products that are durable, easy to repair
and recyclable, the EU Ecolabel is a crucial tool of the circular economy. At the same time,the EU Ecolabel is an enabler of sustainable lifestyles and green procurement because it
guides consumers, public and private buyers towards excellent products in terms ofenvironmental performances. The Action Plan on Sustainable Finance "Financing Sustainable
Growth"2 has moreover identified the possibility to extend the EU Ecolabel to retail financial
products as a suitable way to enable investors to directly channel their funds into
environmentally sustainable investments. As soon as EU Ecolabel criteria for financial
products will be adopted, they will contribute to the promotion of environmentally
sustainable investments.
The overarching goal of the EU Ecolabel is to empower market actors to consume,
produce and live more sustainably and to engage them in the transition towards a
circular economy.
This is particularly important after the COVID-19 crisis in order to ensure that the recovery issustainable and in line with the principles of the circular economy.

COM(2020) 98 of 11 March 2020: Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, theCouncil, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions “A new Circular
Economy Action Plan - For a cleaner and more competitive Europe2
COM/2018/097 final: Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the European
Council, the Council, the European Central Bank, the European Economic and Social Committee and theCommittee of the Regions “Action Plan: Financing Sustainable Growth”
Commission européenne/Europese Commissie, 1049 Bruxelles/Brussel, BELGIQUE/BELGIË - Tel. +32 22991111

To reach the above goal this work plan has identified three objectives:
1.

Mainstream and further develop the EU Ecolabel as a relevant tool in policies andinitiatives promoting sustainable consumption and production, circular economy,
sustainable lifestyles, sustainable finance and climate action in synergy with othertools.

2.

Maximise the effectiveness and efficiency of the EU Ecolabel Regulation
implementation including the development and the maintenance of a successful
criteria portfolio.

3.

Enhance the EU Ecolabel presence on the market, by boosting both industry
uptake and consumers awareness.

To fulfil the three objectives above, Annex I presents a list of non-exhaustive actions,clustered per thematic areas, identified by the EC services and relevant stakeholders Joint
efforts by the EC and relevant stakeholders are necessary to fulfil these objectives. The
EUEB meetings and the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform will therefore
promote the exchange of best practices and lessons learnt.

2. THE CURRENT EU ECOLABEL PORTFOLIO
EU Ecolabel criteria are developed and revised through the multi-stakeholder processdescribed in Annex I of the EU Ecolabel Regulation. The decision on the need toprolong/review/withdraw/establish EU Ecolabel criteria is taken by the EC after having
consulted the EUEB and having assessed the relevance of the product group, its criteria andthe related assessment and verification requirements.
ANNEX II – Current EU Ecolabel portfolio, presents the list of product groups in the current
EU Ecolabel portfolio, and the timeline for 2020-2024.
More information about the state of on-going development/revision processes, related Ad
Hoc Working Group meetings and documents is available on the Product Bureau page of
JRC.
The EC currently uses both the number of EU Ecolabel licenses and the number of labelled
products as key performance indicators. The EU Ecolabel statistics are available on the Fact
and Figures page of the EU Ecolabel website and are updated twice a year.
The list of EUEB, Competent Bodies Forum and Regulatory Committee meetings is available
on the Meetings corner page of the EU Ecolabel website.

3. FUTURE EU ECOLABEL PRODUCT GROUPS
The development of EU Ecolabel criteria is a very resource-intensive process. Given the needto prioritize efforts, the current activities of the EU Ecolabel focus on the maximization of thesuccess of the current product portfolio. As in the past several product groups werediscontinued for very low uptake, a stronger strategy is needed for the selection of promising
EU Ecolabel products groups. The possibility to develop a new product group shall therefore
be considered only when both high potential environmental benefits, high potential uptake
4and increased visibility of the scheme are expected. Synergies and coherence with the othercircular economy policies and tools shall also be ensured.
The EU Ecolabel Regulation gives the possibility to the European Commission and otherstakeholders to propose the development of EU Ecolabel criteria for a certain product group.
The list of product groups for which the Commission Services received a request fromexternal stakeholder to develop EU Ecolabel criteria will soon be available on the EU
Ecolabelwebsite(https://ec.europa.eu/environment/ecolabel/criteria-development-andrevision.html). The potential future product groups that are currently under consideration arelisted in ANNEX III – Future Product Groups still under consideration by the Commission
Services.

The EU Ecolabel for toys could have the potential to increase the visibility of the scheme, if taken up by a sufficient number of market
players. The possibility to establish sound criteria in line with the circular economy principles should be further investigated, as well as
the possibility to develop EU Ecolabel criteria for toys as a service. Reasons for uptake/non-uptake in other ecolabelling schemes should
also be further investigated. The development of a questionnaire for toy industry and other stakeholders to collect feedback on theirinterest for the EU Ecolabel was put on hold for lack of resources.
Working on greening food retail stores is an important work stream of the circular economy, and it is linked to the possibility of
improving the practices of the sector (including decreasing food waste), promoting the production and consumption of sustainableproducts and nudging consumers towards sustainable choices. The issue should be discussed in the whole context of the circular
economy initiatives, and in case EU Ecolabel criteria are developed they should touch all relevant aspects, including the products thatare sold. After a discussion at the EU Ecolabelling Board, it was agreed that further reflection is needed on the suitability for an ecolabel
to address the issue in its complexity, taking into account potential synergies/overlaps with EMAS, and Organisation Environmental
Footprint (OEFSR) for Retail and other existing activities such as the EU Retail Forum (and maybe EU GPP).
This product group was not considered as a priority because of the on-going revisions of the Voluntary Agreement and of the GPP
criteria for Imaging Equipment. The New Circular Economy Action Plan foresees the inclusion of printers and consumables such as
cartridges in the next Ecodesign work plan unless the sector reaches an ambitious voluntary agreement within Q3/Q4 2020. The
willingness to develop EU Ecolabel criteria for this product group will be re-assessed after a decision on Ecodesign measures.
A study was launched by the Commission Services to assess options to establish an EU-wide green label with a view to promote the useof renewable energy coming from new installations. The EU Ecolabel is one of the options investigated by the study. The study will
provide the technical support for the elaboration of the report described in Article 19(13) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 on the promotionof the use of energy from renewable sources (RED II).
