Sustainable Products (led by United Kingdom)

The International Task Force for Sustainable Products (ITFSP) is answering the calling of governments worldwide for more international co-operation on policy to encourage more sustainable, energy efficient products.


The Task Force aims at:

• Raising awareness of product policy as a means of achieving international development and environmental objectives
  
  
• Seeking common priorities and opportunities for practical cooperation in encouraging more innovation on product eco-design
  
  
• Establishing and participating in open and transparent processes for improving product performance.
  
  

Global Sustainable Products Networks

A central objective and concept for the ITFSP is to ensure effective Global Sustainable Products Networks (GSPNs) for the most important product sectors. Four GSPN have already been created:

• Lighting
  
  
• Home entertainment products, including televisions, simple set-top boxes and multi-function set-top boxes
  
  
• Electronic motors
  
  
• Market surveillance and compliance
