2. Believes that coordination with initiatives connected to the circular economy would further enhance the effectiveness of the directive; calls, therefore, for an ambitious plan on ecodesign and the circular economy, providing both environmental benefits and opportunities for growth and jobs; notes, in this regard, that the use of secondary raw materials in manufacturing offers considerable potential for cutting waste and economising on resources;

Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Believes, therefore, that the implementation of the Ecodesign Directive – in addition to continued efforts to improve energy efficiency – must now address the full life cycle of the products within its scope, with the setting up of minimum resource criteria covering, inter alia, robustness, repairability and upgradeability, but also sharing potential, reuse, scalability, recyclability and use of recycled materials or secondary raw materials in the manufacture of products;;
Amendment 116 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Believes, therefore, that the implementation of the Ecodesign Directive – in addition to continued efforts to improve energy efficiency – must now address the full life cycle of the products within its scope, with the setting up of minimum resource criteria covering, inter alia, robustness, repairability and upgradeability, but also sharing potential, reuse, scalability, recyclability and use of recycled materials; considers, nevertheless, that the number of criteria must be limited and that they must be defined in a clear and objective manner, whilst being easily measurable and entailing a reasonable cost, in order to guarantee a pragmatic approach, thus making it possible to preserve the operational nature of the Directive;
