Evaluating product panels

An evaluation made in 2001 by Oxford Research A/S

Abstract
In 1998, the Danish EPA launched an experiment in introducing product panels to strengthen the involvement of market players in the Product-Oriented Environmental Initiative. The first three product panels were set up in the areas of electronics, goods transport and textiles. These three panels and the concept behind them have now been evaluated to provide a basis for reassessing the strategy underlying the product panels.  The evaluation report is divided into the three main sections, respectively assessing whether the product panels meet the formal framework requirements set out for their activities; whether the product panels are a useful tool in the Product-Oriented Environmental Initiative; and whether adjustments to the concept are needed.
