Abstract

The proposed paper deals with possible legislative approaches to ecodesign.

The aim of this paper is to analyze how ecodesign is embedded in European Union law as well as in national legislation, and to point out few possible shortcomings, especially in the comprehensive approach to the concept of ecodesign
