The present report has been developed to support the European Commission in the integration in the European product policies of measures for the improvement of resource efficiency of products. In particular, the report analyses potential requirements for dishwashers (DW) that can be implemented within the framework of the Ecodesign directive (2009/125/EC). The analysis is based on the application of the REAPro method to the dishwasher product group for the following resource efficiency criteria: reusability / recyclability / recoverability, recycled content, use of hazardous substances and durability.
The study concludes that the resource efficiency of dishwashers could significantly improve by the manual extraction of key parts before shredding, and also by extending the lifetime of a DW. On such purpose, the report proposes some potential ecodesign measures.
