ECODESIGN FORUM

The Group of experts on Ecodesign for Sustainable Products and Energy Labelling (‘the Ecodesign Forum’) assist the Commission in the conduct of its activities under Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 and Regulation (EU) 2017/1369. The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation(ESPR), which entered into force on 18 July 2024is the cornerstone of the Commission’s approach to more environmentally sustainable and circular products.

Duration: 5 years

The objective

The Ecodesign forum assists the Commission in relation to the implementation of existing Union legislation, programmes and policies, in the preparation of delegated acts, in the preparation of legislative proposals and policy initiatives, and provides expertise to the Commission when preparing implementing measures.

BIP EUROPE

The BIP is an industrial partnership in which policy makers, industry and other stakeholders team up with the goal to support the achievement of the target of 35 billion cubic metres annual production and use of sustainable biomethane by 2030, and to create the preconditions for a further ramp-up of its potential towards 2050. The BIP is divided in 6 different Task forces. 

Duration: Ongoing

The objective

Task Force 2 works to identify and scale up best practices, initiate creative solutions and overcome barriers to speed up investments in new biomethane projects across the value chain. As part of its work, the Task Force works to develop best practices on how to accelerate biomethane project development and investments and permitting procedures. The Task Force is also focused on exploring the emerging market for biogenic CO₂, assessing the use of biodegradable plastics in biomethane plants, investigating biomethane supply chain security, and compiling a report on digestate. 

FEAD’s involvement

As of 2024, FEAD Secretary General, Paolo Campanella, is co-chair of Task force 2. 

BBBB

Buy Better to Build Better is a coalition that brings together forward-thinking stakeholders from industry, civil society, and public authorities under a shared commitment to mainstream public procurement as a core lever in driving large-scale demand for green construction solutions, while maintaining European industry at the forefront of technological progress.

Duration: Ongoing

The objective

The EU’s 2025 Clean Industrial Deal identifies public procurement as a crucial tool to support competitiveness and decarbonisation of key industrial sectors, including construction. It must now become a reality. Procuring greener materials for infrastructural projects, schools, hospitals – such as concrete and steel – could own its own cut a quarter of the EU’s public construction-related emissions at little to no added cost. With 31% of the construction sector’s activities tied to public projects, contracting authorities have a key role to play in unlocking green public procurement’s full potential.

FEAD’s involvement

As of May 2025, FEAD joined the coalition as a member.
