Desirable outcomes for the International Task Force for Sustainable Products would include:
- Faster and more assured progress towards sustainable products, consistent with the 10 year time horizon of the Marrakech process
- Reduced consumption of energy, water and other resources, using fewer hazardous substances and producing less problematic waste.
- Open and transparent processes providing more certainty and better policy signalling for industry, encouraging investment in innovation, reducing policy costs.
- Better regulation (e.g. through harmonisation of performance measurement methodologies, the use of similar policy measures and eco-design requirements, synchrony etc.),
- More international co-operation in policy development.
