Action C.2: Eco-label scheme
Concrete action
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this action is to develop a voluntary water labelling strategy aimed at promoting water efficient devices and appliances so as to empower consumers with verifiable information. This is also aligned with the measures in Malta’s 2nd River Basin Management Plan which also provides for the awareness and education on water conservation, in particular targeting the issue of water scarcity and other challenges.
The main expected result is that the Water Efficient Products Label is displayed in the majority of retail outlets selling water-using devices, providing consumers with verifiable information on water consumption characteristics. Through publications, promotional material and media campaign an increased awareness of the Water Efficient Products Label, the issue of water scarcity in the Maltese Islands and the household water consumption is expected. Another expected result is an online registration for retailers and an online platform which will list the retail outlets importing efficient water-using devices.
Take a look at the Deliverables for this action.
- Deliverable 2A.1: Analysis and Identification of Eco-labels at European and International Level
- Deliverable 2A.1: Analysis of European Directives, Regulations and Guidance/Technical Documents on Eco-labels
- Deliverable 2B: Development of a Preliminary Methodology of the Water Eco-label Scheme at local level
