Welcome to this information page about Integrated Product Policy (IPP).

This page shall provide an overview about IPP, introducing goals, strategies, tools and first projects of the IPP.

The page shall also inspire to discuss and can serve as an information forum. In consequence of the relative novelty of the IPP, we set value on updating the page permanently.

IPP shall deal with all aspects of the production, the consumption and the effects on the environment, by centring a life cycle principle.

IPP is to be understood as a concept of the European Commission which tries to replace various, already existing, product political concepts and management systems. This common strategy in the Single European Market shall prevent isolated and sporadic activities.
