Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European policy patterns are in a state of transformation. New governance models are shifting power away from states and toward the involvement of all stakeholders and the idea of shared responsibility. It's a move from command and control to push and pull. What's in this new approach for the environment? This book provides a detailed analysis of the example of integrated product policy (IPP) which aims to improve the environmental performance of products and services through their life-cycle. All products cause environmental degradation in some way, whether from their manufacturing, use or disposal. The life-cycle of a product is often long and complicated. It covers all the areas from the extraction of natural resources, through their design, manufacture, assembly, marketing, distribution, sale and use to their eventual disposal as waste. At the same time it also involves many different actors such as designers, manufacturers, marketers, retailers and consumers. IPP attempts to systematically stimulate each phase of this complicated chain to improve its environmental performance. With the involvement of so many different products and actors there cannot be one simple policy measure for everything. Instead, IPP employs a whole variety of tools – both voluntary and mandatory – which are used to achieve identified objectives. These include economic instruments, the phase-out of dangerous materials, voluntary agreements, eco-labelling and product design guidelines. IPP is still in relative infancy and can be seen as an ongoing process hugely dependent on effective governance measures to ensure its continued success. This book presents a plethora of perspectives from policy-makers, researchers and consultancies, representatives from business, environmental and consumer associations on how to effectively conceptualise, institutionalise and implement IPP. The book is divided into four parts. First, the approach to the governance of IPP is examined in relation to other approaches to sustainable production and consumption. Second, the widely differing approaches to environmental product policy in practice at national, supranational and global level are analysed. Third, the book explores the challenge of designing a coherent policy mix to support the integration of sustainable consumption and production patterns by sector and theme. Finally, the book concentrates on the key issue of how to involve stakeholders in IPP in order to encourage continuous innovations for sustainability throughout the value chain. Governance of Integrated Product Policy aims to fill a clear gap in work to date on sustainable production and consumption by providing researchers and practitioners from politics, business and civil society new insights into modern environmental governance in practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Commission has recently stepped up its promotion of the "Integrated Product Policy". The objective of the IPP is to support the realisation of environmental product innovations and thus to achieve a broad reduction of all environmental impacts throughout a product's life cycle. Based on a unique company level data set for the German manufacturing sector, this paper empirically examines the relationship between environmental organisational measures regarded as IPP measures by the European Commission and environmental product innovations. According to the econometric analysis, the certification of environmental management systems has a significantly positive effect on environmental product innovations. Waste disposal measures or product take-back systems appear to be an even more important driver of environmental product innovations. The econometric analysis also shows that other factors that have been suggested in the literature, such as environmental policy, technology push and market pull, as well as other specific company characteristics have a significantly positive influence on environmental product innovations. According to the descriptive analysis of environmental product innovators, economic aspects (i.e. higher prices) rather than soft factors appear to be the major obstacles to the commercial exploitation of environmental products and thus also to environmental product innovations.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fragmentation of products' regulatory framework in the European Union (EU) hinders environmental protection. Based on the principle of integration contained in Article 11 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU), the Union put forward the need to adopt an approach encompassing the whole life cycle of a product in its EU Integrated Product Policy (IPP). An effective preservation of the environment against the harmful effects of products requires adopting such a comprehensive approach. The focus of this chapter is how an integrated or holistic approach may limit the inconsistencies arising from a fragmented EU product regulatory framework. Article 11 TFEU has the potential of playing a key role in responding to the negative effects of fragmentation on environmental protection and, in this chapter, it is argued that it forms the basis of a more integrated approach for the EU product regulatory framework. This chapter begins with a general introduction of the principle of integration and evolution from its first appearance in the European Treaties. With regards to products, the need for more integration set out in Article 11 led to the development of the IPP, which embraced the thriving concept of Life-Cycle Thinking (LCT). The first section continues with an analysis of how the IPP and LCT may contribute to enhancing the coherence of the regulatory framework (section II). In the following section, three specific examples representing different life cycle stages - i.e. EU ecodesign, public procurement and waste law - are used to show the influence (or lack thereof) that the integration principle, with a specific focus on LCT, has had on the EU regulatory framework for products and its fragmentation (section III). A final section contains recommendations on how LCT could contribute to reducing the fragmentation of the regulatory framework, thereby limiting environmental damages caused by products (section IV).
