Integration of resource efficiency and waste management criteria in European product policies - second phase : refined methods and guidance documents for the calculation of indices concerning reusability / recyclability / recoverability, recycled content, use of priority resources, use of hazardous substances, durability (final); Report n° 3

The present report refines the methods for the assessment of the following parameters: reusability/recyclability/recoverability- RRR, use of relevant resources, recycled content, use of hazardous substances, durability. These methods are derived from those developed during the first phase of the project (Ecodesign Phase 1), refined according to comments received from stakeholders and according to the application to new product groups (see Report n° 2) and the alignment to new published studies and/or studies currently under development. The report is structured in 5 chapters, one for each method. Each chapter is then subdivided into: - introductory part, which analyzes additional relevant references for the revision of the method; - developed method, including the description of main indices and potential variants; - procedure for the verification of the calculation of indices - guidance documents (in the annexes) summarizing the developed methods and main indices.
