DEFRA included wood burning stoves in their 2019 Clean Air Strategy, their aim by doing this is to reduce the amount of harmful emissions that affect air quality by ensuring stove manufacturers improve the performance and efficiency of their stoves.

By January 2022 it will be law that all solid fuel appliances sold after that date have to be Eco Design Compliant. To be Eco Design Compliant, stoves will need to significantly improve emissions when compared to current stoves on the market or to open fires. At Capital we launched our first range of fully compliant Eco 2022 Ready Stoves in 2018.
