♻️ This #WorldRecyclingDay, let’s pledge to dispose of finished electrical products the right way. Every year, millions of inefficient appliances and technology are dumped into landfills, creating mountains of e-waste that leach toxic materials into the environment. 💡 Policies that create effective re-use and re-cycling systems, and those that promote the distribution of high-quality, energy-efficient appliances can help change that! Choosing durable, energy-efficient appliances helps: ✅ Reduce waste ✅ Lower energy bills ✅ Cut climate emissions Get more of our solutions: www.clasp.ngo #ForPeopleForPlanet

On #WorldConsumerRightsDay let us remember that consumers do prefer affordable, energy-efficient and less polluting appliances, especially for cooking. CLASP’s recent survey from 8 European countries finds that many consumers lack clear accurate information about cooktop efficiency and are unaware of the indoor air quality impacts of gas cooking. CLASP’s research provides European policymakers with key insights to support the shift to healthier, cleaner, more efficient electric cooktops: https://lnkd.in/g-rxSFib #CookCleanerEurope #ForPeopleForPlanet Global Cooksafe Coalition
