package of proposals to make&nbsp;<strong>almost all<\/strong><strong>physical goods<\/strong>&nbsp;on the EU market&nbsp;<strong>more friendly to the environment, in line with the circular economy, and energy efficient throughout their whole lifecycle<\/strong>&nbsp;from the design phase through to daily use, repurposing and end-of-life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposals are part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/strategy\/priorities-2019-2024\/european-green-deal_en\">European Green Deal&nbsp;<\/a>and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/ip_20_420\">Circular Economy Action Plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Commission has also presented a new strategy to&nbsp;<strong>make<\/strong><strong>textiles<\/strong><strong>more durable, repairable, reusable and recyclable<\/strong>, to tackle fast fashion, textile waste and the destruction of unsold textiles, and ensure their production takes place in full respect of social rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A third proposal aims to boost the&nbsp;<strong>internal market for construction products<\/strong>&nbsp;and ensure that the regulatory framework in place is fit for making the built environment deliver on our&nbsp;<strong>sustainability and climate objectives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the package includes a proposal on new rules to&nbsp;<strong>empower consumers in the green transition<\/strong>&nbsp;so that consumers are better informed about the environmental sustainability of products and better protected against greenwashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
