Joint Industry Letter: Non-Ferrous Metals Industry Calls for Action on an EF-Compliant Database
As the Environmental Footprint (EF) methodology becomes increasingly embedded in key EU legislation, including the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and the Critical Raw Materials Act, the signatories highlight growing concerns over the absence of a robust and operational EF database.
